Vodman
Vodman enables you to save videos from popular sites such as Youtube or Twitch to your device.
Simply copy the URL of the VOD to the clipboard. Then, open Vodman and use the pull down menu to start the download.
Decided you didn't want a VOD after all? No problem, cancel the download and optionally delete the file.
Vodman uses youtube-dl or clones and can download from any supported site.
The sources are available on GitHub, translations on Transifex.

Thanks!, after installation and testing, I am met with an error when selecting "Download from clipboard";
"Download failed Vodman service not available"
Also, on the first page where we see the message; "No downloads at present. Copy 'an' URL ...", would be better if it read as "Copy 'a' URL........." :)

Thank you for testing the app.
Please try again with version 1.0.3. It should fix the issue with vodman-service not starting due to a botched library import.
