One tool you might like is MeTube. While it can't schedule anything, I have it running it on a headless Beelink computer. So if I want to grab a video or channel, I can open a browser on any device, go to the server, and tell it to fetch whatever I want. The download location is set to a NAS so I can view the media with any device as well. It even supports extended yt-dlp options, so you can even tell it to use things like SponsorBlock. It's pretty great overall

Consider also Tube Archivist. If you just want to download a few videos it's overkill, but I use it to archive and index technical channels I like. It can do advanced full text and metadata searches on the transcription/subtitles as well as comments (and title and description). Much better than what alphabet provides, annoyingly.
