The first version of the product was released in 2013. Written in Objective C it was a basic downloading tool that could process one video at a time.[1] CNET staff in their review says that "It has a very streamlined interface with just a couple of options and a copy/paste mechanic." [2] Additional functionality was added including the capacity to download a few files simultaneously by copy-pasting links in a text editor.[3] The app can convert downloaded content into a format and resolution of user's choice – HD, SD and low definition.[4][5][6][7] The app is capable of extracting audio files from videos.[8] Starting from version 2.0 the app can download entire YouTube playlists.[9]
Initially developed for Mac OS, Airy also supports Windows.[10] Marina Dan from Softpedia says that "Airy is a useful and reliable piece of software that provides with the means of downloading videos or extracting the audio from selected clips on YouTube" [11] The Mac version has more features than the one for Windows, including playlists download and ability to pause and resume downloads.[12]
Airy has been included in the lists of the tools recommended for downloading YouTube videos.[13][14] Some of the tech websites put Airy on the first place in their list of the best YouTube video Downloaders.[15][16]
At the date of 5 May 2020 the app stopped working and the website https://www.airy-youtube-downloader.com is down.
