Fed up with YouTube Music on desktop? This unofficial open-source client offers a fix

Credit: Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YTubic is a new, free, open-source YouTube Music desktop client for Windows 10 and 11 designed to replace slow, webview-based alternatives. The app communicates directly with YouTube’s InnerTube API and includes floating mini-players, flexible layouts, high-resolution album art, and synced lyrics. Powered under the hood by yt-dlp, the client claims not to collect telemetry and makes Google account login completely optional for streaming.
