What is YTAudioBar?

YTAudioBar is a free, open-source desktop app that turns YouTube into a Spotify-style music and podcast player. Search directly inside the app, stream audio-only with no video overhead, and organize everything into playlists and a queue — all without ads or a browser tab open.

It behaves like a native player: system tray on Windows, menu bar on macOS, media key and OS media-control support (SMTC on Windows, MPRIS on Linux), and a lightweight footprint since it never loads video. Tracks can also be saved for offline playback in MP3, M4A, or OGG.

Built with Tauri and Rust, so it's fast and small compared to Electron-based alternatives.
