 That is foreign to me 🙃 
 If you run a Bitcoin node you can figure this out! Download the Mac installer from the releases page. You'll need to open up terminal to run the command. 
 seconding yt-dlp. very easy to run from cli. 
 Tubular on  f-droid 
 On Android . . . GrayJay, NewPipe, or BraveNewPipe all work.

GrsyJay is nice because it let's you search a bunch of streaming platforms at once.

Futo GrayJay has an F-Droid repo. 
 And on Mac? 
 yt-dlp run from the terminal. need to have ffmpeg as well. use homebrew for both. 
 Do you need help installing Linux? 
 Maybe the "Video DownloadHelper" Firefox add-on will work on Macs.

 Still needed? 
 The easiest is to use Brave Browser. It has a Playlist feature that permit you to download any videos and save it offline on the playlist.
