Amuse connects the app to the Amuse now-playing widget by 6K Labs, giving you a standalone desktop widget showing the current track outside the main window.

It is a lightweight alternative to keeping the player visible on a second screen.

What it does

  • Feeds track metadata to the Amuse desktop widget
  • Keeps now-playing visible without the full window
  • Set up once in the plugin options

How to enable Amuse

  1. Install YouTube Music Desktop App for Windows, macOS or Linux.
  2. Open the app menu and choose Plugins.
  3. Switch on Amuse.
  4. Open its options entry to adjust the settings.
