ElectroTube

Electron wrapper for YouTube Music

A standalone, cross-platform desktop application for enjoying YouTube Music without relying on browser extensions or Progressive Web App support.

Why ElectroTube?

Firefox does not support installing YouTube Music as a standalone PWA (Progressive Web App), unlike Chromium-based browsers.

ElectroTube was created to solve that. It offers:

• A dedicated desktop app feel
• Independence from browser state or extensions
• Persistent window sizing and position
• Simple setup, no fluff

Features

• Loads https://music.youtube.com in an Electron window
• Saves window dimensions and position between sessions
• Installer support for both Windows and Linux (.deb / AppImage)
