This, but I host my own web front end on my home server for it so I can grab clips from anything on any device and access them anywhere

How to download only a section of a long video? Like from 1:00 to 1:30. I remember it’s not that straightforward, and I lost the link that explains it. I don’t want to download the whole thing then cut it afterwards.

Is there a version of this that isn't command line, like with a GUI?
I'm comfortable with command line I grew up using MS-DOS but someone here is going to ask.

I used YT1S or whatever it’s called for a few of the videos. Then I stopped because I read a couple complaints about it being potentially shady. Someone even complained about getting a scam call right after using it. I just want to say that my virus protector found nothing after a full scan, my computer hasn’t been acting any differently than normal, and the only scam calls I’ve ever gotten were so few and far between and not right after I used the website. So I don’t know, but better safe than sorry I guess.

Learn to copy your browser's headers from network tools and import them into whatever download tool you need to use. It could be yt-dlp, streamlink, ffmpeg, or N_m3u8DL-RE if it needs to be decrypted like onlyfans stuff. It can be as easy as copying the m3u8 link and pasting it into yt-dlp like it was a YouTube link and as hard as needing to mimic every single header from your browser, or worse needing to set up a CDM for decryption. If it's a single file like mp4 rather than m3u8 or some shit you can also try copying the curl command from network tools in your browser and adding -O filename.mp4 on the end to download it.
