This takes some setup, but you can add ffmpeg and python, and from there youtube-dl. There's a url handler so I can download podcasts and other things by using the built in android share function from page links.

People also use it on chromebooks for dev work that doesn't require low level compiling. I have seen NPM and webdev work being done using termux and I have seen people use it for Jupyter Notebooks too.

It also integrates with Tasker (another android automation app).

What setup? I thought it was just `pkg i ffmpeg python && pip install --user youtube-dl`?

The setup I was focusing is creating a meaningful bash like script that runs when the URL is shared to Termux. I have also set up ways certain sites to have their audio stripped from the video, using ffmpeg and while basic, it does take about a couple hours to get things setup bug free in a way that's easy. Easy as in a two click, share -> termux and then just letting it run and it'll finish. And as other have mentioned, getting storage permissions right.
