You might be lucky: there is a gui availiable for yt-dlp on GitHub. I just looked it up. The descripition reads:

Graphical interface for the command line tool yt-dlp, which allows users to download videos from various websites, including YouTube. It is designed to be more user-friendly and accessible for those who are not comfortable using the command line.

Link: https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui

Edit/addition:

There are online services availiable (for instance https://yt5s.com/en173) that basically do the same as Cobalt.tools. I assume that they don't put any emphasis on privacy tho.
