If you're looking to download source material from the internet, yt-dlp is a great tool that can extract and save videos locally from a wide variety of sources like youtube, twitter and more. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

It works on Mac, though I've personally had a better experience with a similar app called "YT Music": https://ytmusic.app/ It has a nice Mac menu bar integration. Source: over 1 year ago

Is is possible too somehow enable caching for YT Desktop? Both on ytmusic.app as well as YT Music proper I do not see any way to automatically cache songs or even forcefully download them.
