An unofficial cross-platform desktop application for YouTube Music built with Electron and TypeScript. It wraps YouTube Music in a native desktop experience with extras like Last.fm scrobbling, Discord Rich Presence, custom shortcuts, sleep timer, and a companion server for third-party integrations.
Use cases
- play youtube music in a desktop app
- scrobble youtube music listening to last.fm
- show what i'm listening to on discord
- control youtube music with global keyboard shortcuts
- set a sleep timer for music playback
- add custom css styling to youtube music
- get desktop notifications when the song changes
When to choose
- you want a native desktop experience for YouTube Music on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you want integrations like Last.fm scrobbling, Discord presence, or a companion API server
- you want features YouTube Music's web player lacks, like sleep timer, custom shortcuts, and volume boost
When to avoid
- you only need YouTube Music in a browser tab without extra features
- you need an official, supported client
- you want offline playback or downloading of music, which this does not provide
