Ytmdesktop
Streaming music on the desktop — without the browser
Ytmdesktop is a cross-platform music streaming client with a built-in ad blocker, downloader, and plugins — a lightweight desktop experience without the browser.
Why Ytmdesktop?
One lightweight app: block ads, save audio, and extend the player with plugins — an unofficial desktop companion, not a product of Google.
Built-in downloader
Save tracks to MP3, Opus, and more — similar to youtube-dl, from the same UI.
Plugins in one click
Discord, media keys, Touch Bar, notifications, cosmetic tweaks, auto-unpause — toggle any plugin instantly.
Cross platform
Windows (installer & portable), macOS, and Linux — AppImage, deb, and more.
