Downloads
Grab the latest build from the landing page (OS is auto-detected) or from GitHub Releases on the repository.
| Platform | Artifact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | *-setup.exe (NSIS) | Current releases |
| macOS Apple Silicon | .dmg / .zip (arm64) | Shown on the landing page when published |
| macOS Intel | .dmg / .zip (x64) | Shown on the landing page when published |
| Linux | .AppImage / .deb | Current releases |
| Linux RPM | ytmdesktop2-*.rpm | Fedora / RHEL: sudo dnf install ./….rpm |

macOS tabs stay visible even before assets ship — once Apple Silicon and Intel .dmg / .zip builds are attached to a release, both show in the listing (Apple Silicon preferred when detected).
First launch
- Install or unpack the build for your OS.
- Sign in to YouTube Music in the embedded browser.
- Open Settings to enable integrations (API, Last.fm, Discord, Stream Deck).
Updates
Official builds use electron-updater against GitHub Releases. Keep the app updated for security and feature fixes.
