## What it is
Beatbump is a privacy-respecting alternative frontend for YouTube Music built with SvelteKit, offering ad-free audio playback, playlist management, and group listening sessions. It can be self-hosted via Docker or Cloudflare Workers, though it is no longer actively developed due to YouTube changes.

## Use cases
- listen to youtube music without ads
- self-host a privacy-friendly youtube music frontend
- play youtube music in the background on mobile
- manage local music playlists in the browser
- host group listening sessions with friends
- search songs albums and artists without tracking

## When to choose
- you want an ad-free, privacy-respecting YouTube Music experience
- you want to self-host an alternative frontend for YouTube Music
- you need background audio playback on mobile via a PWA

## When to avoid
