FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It provides a native-like experience for YouTube Music on Windows with built-in ad blocking and Discord integration, while maintaining YouTube login and session persistence.
Who it is for
- Windows users who frequently use YouTube Music in a browser
- Privacy-conscious users who want ad blocking for YouTube Music
- Discord users who want to display their current track via Rich Presence
- Developers interested in Tauri v2 and WebView2 integration
Use cases
- Run YouTube Music as a standalone desktop application
- Block ads and tracking requests while listening
- Show currently playing music on Discord profile
- Use global keyboard shortcuts to control playback without switching windows
Strengths
- Built-in ad blocking with native request filtering and page-side cleanup
- Persistent YouTube login and session across app restarts
- Discord Rich Presence integration with live status toggles
- System tray controls and customizable behavior (close-to-tray, launch at startup)
Considerations
- Windows 10 or newer only
- Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime
- Discord Rich Presence requires Discord desktop client
- Upstream WebView2 limitation: media controls may label playback as 'Unknown app'
README quick start
YouTube Music Unofficial
Unofficial Windows desktop app for YouTube Music, built with Tauri v2 and WebView2.
This app gives YouTube Music its own dedicated Windows window, keeps your normal YouTube account session, filters common ad/tracking requests, and publishes the current track to Discord Rich Presence.
Status
- Windows only.
- Unofficial project, not affiliated with YouTube, Google, Discord, Microsoft, or Tauri.
- Current release:
v0.1.8.
Download
Use the NSIS setup installer for normal installs:
Download YouTube.Music_0.1.8_x64-setup.exe
An MSI package is also available on the release page.
Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” notice because this community release is not code-signed.
Features
- Dedicated Windows app window for YouTube Music.
- Persistent Discord RPC and ad-block toggles with live status.
- Persistent YouTube login/session through the app WebView profile.
- Built-in ad blocking with native request filtering, blocked-request count, and page-side cleanup.
- System tray controls for show/hide, previous, play/pause, next, Discord RPC, and quit.
- Reload, zoom, cache clear, and session reset controls.
- Optional close-to-tray, launch at startup, and start minimized behavior.
- External links open in the default browser.
- Automatic and manual GitHub release checks.
- Left-hand global playback shortcuts.
YouTube Music's WebView profile retains login, volume, window state, and site preferences.
Shortcuts
Ctrl+Alt+A: previous track.Ctrl+Alt+S: play or pause.Ctrl+Alt+D: next track.Ctrl+R: reload.Ctrl++,Ctrl+-,Ctrl+0: zoom.Ctrl+Shift+Delete: reset the YouTube Music session.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or newer.

Windows may label WebView2 playback as Unknown app in system media controls.
This is an upstream WebView2/Tauri limitation; track metadata and media buttons still work.
