Pica is a lightweight, clean, and distraction-free YouTube video downloader for Windows.
It is built with a strong focus on simplicity, speed, and user experience — without ads, clutter, or confusing options. The goal of Pica is to provide a smooth and transparent way to download videos or audio in the quality users choose.
Most existing video downloaders feel bloated, untrustworthy, or difficult to use. Pica was created to solve this problem by doing one thing well: offering a clean, beginner-friendly desktop experience that respects the user.
Pica is designed as a learning-focused, ethical, and user-respecting application. It avoids aggressive behavior, hidden processes, or bundled software, and keeps everything clear and visible to the user.
This project is suitable for everyday users, learners, and developers who value simplicity and transparency in desktop software.
