YTMDesktop2 is an unofficial Electron desktop client for YouTube Music with Last.fm scrobbling, Discord Rich Presence, tray view, synced lyrics, themes, and OBS overlays. It exposes a local HTTP API and Stream Deck plugin for playback control and automation.
Use cases
- listen to youtube music in a native desktop app
- scrobble tracks to last.fm
- show currently playing song in discord status
- display now-playing overlay in obs
- control music playback from stream deck
- view synced lyrics while listening
- customize youtube music appearance with themes
When to choose
- you want a dedicated desktop client for YouTube Music instead of a browser tab
- you need Discord Rich Presence or Last.fm scrobbling for your listening
- you stream and want now-playing browser sources in OBS
- you want tray-based playback controls and synced lyrics
When to avoid
- you need an official, Google-supported YouTube Music client
- you want offline playback or local music file management
- you rely on the removed mini player feature
- upstream YouTube Music DOM changes breaking custom themes is unacceptable
