Kaset is a native macOS client for YouTube Music and YouTube built with Swift and SwiftUI, offering an Apple Music-style interface with full playback, library management, and system integration. It supports DRM-protected YouTube Music playback via an existing Premium subscription, plus lyrics, equalizer, podcasts, and Apple Intelligence features.

Use cases

  • play youtube music in a native mac app
  • listen to youtube music without the browser
  • browse youtube subscriptions and shorts on macos
  • view synced lyrics while playing music
  • manage youtube music playlists and liked songs on desktop
  • listen to podcasts from youtube music on mac
  • control youtube playback with media keys and control center

When to choose

  • you have YouTube Music Premium and want a native macOS experience instead of the web player
  • you want Apple Music-style UI, lyrics, equalizer, and Now Playing integration for YouTube content
  • you want one app for both YouTube Music and regular YouTube on macOS

When to avoid

  • you don't have a YouTube Premium/Music subscription, since DRM playback depends on it
  • you need Windows or Linux support - it is macOS only
  • you want offline downloads or a fully free YouTube client without an account
