Parabolic, which used to be called Tube Converter, is a fantastic YouTube downloader. The goal of Parabolic hasn’t changed much – it’s still a modern and stylish GTK GUI for yt-dlp that lets you download content from YouTube in both video and audio formats.
You might wonder what makes Parabolic stand out. Well, while Tube Converter was decent, it had its limits when it came to customization and features. It was more like an "aim-and-shoot" app. But hey, who doesn’t love a good upgrade? Parabolic has reinvented itself to cater to a broader range of users. It packs in more features while keeping things just as easy to use as before.
Just like its predecessor, Parabolic allows you to download videos in various formats such as MP3, MP4, WebM, OPUS, FLAC, and WAV. Plus, you can run multiple downloads at once! It even supports downloading metadata and video subtitles. For anyone just looking for a simple YouTube downloader, Parabolic fits the bill perfectly.
This app is clean-looking, modern, easy-to-use, and most importantly – fast! It's no surprise since it uses yt-dlp as its engine and is written in Python with FFmpeg. It adheres perfectly to GNOME's Code of Conduct.
If you’ve never used Tube Converter before, you'll see Parabolic as a well-designed YouTube converter right off the bat. I’ve tried both apps and can say without a doubt that Parabolic feels more complete. One feature I loved is the option to choose how many downloads can happen at once – super helpful if you don’t want your PC getting overwhelmed when downloading huge playlists!
With Parabolic, you get way more control over your downloads too! You can decide whether or not to overwrite existing files or set download speed limits. There are also options for disallowing conversions and embedding metadata and chapters—pretty neat stuff even if most everyday users might not find it crucial.
No doubt about it—Parabolic is an excellent YouTube converter for Linux (especially if you’re using GNOME). What I love most about this app is how it keeps that clean look while offering an effortless workflow similar to some of the simplest yt-dlp GUIs out there but adds some advanced features that you'd expect from top-notch BitTorrent downloads.
