tatar

A youtube music client built with tauri.

IMPORTANT NOTES

This project is deprecated, and I'm working on newer version with latest tauri. You can still compile and run the app.

Features

Slightly less memory usage compared to other YouTube music clients that displays https://music.youtube.com as their interface.

The app is electron-free so the installation size will be much smaller.

Runs natively on wayland

Download

You can download executables from releases

Building

Debian

I had to install these additional packages system-wide

  • libssl-dev
  • libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
  • libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-dev

Contributions

Since YouTube Music itself is feature-complete as a web app, desktop application is not really needed. Still, there are some ideas:

  • Custom CSS Injection
    • Ability to apply dracula theme to YouTube Music (I guess other ytm desktop applications already have this)
