# YouTube Music, native. A desktop client for Linux, Windows and macOS, written in Rust. No browser engine behind it: playback goes through mpv, and the app talks to YouTube through the same internal API the website uses.

No Electron, no web view, nothing idling in the background. ### Up next, in two parts The songs you queued stay apart from the radio YouTube adds after them. Steer it with Familiar, Discover, a decade or a genre. ### Synced lyrics Line-by-line timing from LRCLIB, beside the cover in a fullscreen player with its own queue drawer. ### Themes are CSS files 23 to start from. Change three colours in a text file, save, and the app repaints. ### See-through, if you like Window transparency with real background blur on KDE Plasma, niri, GNOME 51+, Windows and macOS. ### Music videos Watch a song's music video in the app. Click to pause, double-click for fullscreen. ### Local files and offline Your own folders as a browsable tree. With Premium, downloads with tags and cover art, and an offline mode. ### Your library, your order Drag playlists into place, choose which Home sections come first, and see the songs you liked on every artist page. ## 23 themes, all plain CSS Each theme is a CSS file in your config folder. Edit one and the app repaints; add one and it shows up in Settings. Window transparency and background blur work on KDE Plasma (Wayland), niri, GNOME 51+, Windows and macOS. - Classic - Catppuccin - Nord - Gruvbox - Tokyo Night - Dracula - Rosé Pine - Everforest - Solarized - Spotify [Write your own theme](https://refryt.top/themes.html) ## Get refryt [All install options](https://refryt.top/install.html) ### Linux Flatpak, AppImage, or `refryt-bin` on the AUR.
