Today, simple example with PyQt6 and yt_dlp.
Get the link from tiktok browser and use it to download the video for your storage.
I used the Copilot tool. It seems to know the Romanian language. For a developer, comments and source code are not an impediment, because it is very simplistic.
Let's see the source code:

QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QHBoxLayout, QPushButton,
QLineEdit, QLabel, QFileDialog, QListWidget, QListWidgetItem,
QProgressBar, QMessageBox
)
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
class TikTokDownloader(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("TikTok Downloader (yt-dlp)")
self.setMinimumWidth(600)
self.url_input = QLineEdit()
self.url_input.setPlaceholderText("Introdu URL TikTok...")
self.folder_input = QLineEdit()
self.folder_input.setPlaceholderText("Folder download...")
browse_btn = QPushButton("Selectează folder")
browse_btn.clicked.connect(self.select_folder)
fetch_btn = QPushButton("Caută stream-uri")
fetch_btn.clicked.connect(self.fetch_streams)
self.stream_list = QListWidget()

self.progress.setValue(0)

self.progress.setValue(pct)

self.progress.setValue(100)
def download_selected(self):

return
