Default Is there an ad-free YouTube clone for Windows like NewPipe is for Android?

On Windows, I download any YouTube video by running this simple command:
C:] youtube-dl.exe -f 18 {URL}


I find my browser addon (I use downloadhelper) easier to use than that
commandline would be (especially if I want to change the download target
location) ...

Or I extract just the audio with this simple command:
C:] youtube-dl.exe -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 {URL}


....though I admit a single-stage dowbload-and-audio-extract would be
handy (unless downloadhelper has a switch of which I'm unaware -
anyone?). Is there a GUI for this "youtube-dl.exe" that would save all
that typing (especially with the addition of destination specification)?
