What is GopherTube?

GopherTube is a terminal-based YouTube client. It scrapes and parses the YouTube website to search YouTube and uses mpv to play videos. The UI is built with Go and Bubble Tea, and is fully keyboard-driven.

Features:

  • Fast YouTube search (scrapes YouTube directly, no API key needed)
  • Play videos with mpv
  • Minimal terminal UI (Bubble Tea)
  • Keyboard navigation (arrows, Enter, Tab, Esc, g/G)
  • YAML config for paths and settings

Who is this Project for?

  • This Project is for everyone who enjoys Terminal apps
  • For Everyone Who respects thier Privacy and Freedom
  • Anyone who wants to watch videos while using as few system resources as possible — for example, if you have an older or low-spec machine that struggles to run YouTube in a full web browser, this project can help you cut down on resource usage.
