I used a modified version of this [0] (modified [1]) running on my home NAS and an iOS Shortcut to easily be able to "share" any webpage that has a video on it to a Siri shortcut that makes an API call back to that docker service. It will automatically download it for me and drop it wherever I have specified. I can then process those files later. It's a great way for me to grab a video I want while I'm on my phone. It can even handle queuing of videos so I can share multiple in a row if I want. I've found it quite useful.
It's no replacement for the CLI but it's better than copying the url, opening my ssh client, connecting back, navigating to the right spot, running youtube-dl, waiting for it to finish (this is the worst part), then closing my ssh app, and moving on with my life.
