What's new

The first release.

Added

• Browse YouTube Music: the Home feed and Explore, plus artist, album,
  and playlist pages, with your Library when you are signed in.
• Search from the bar on every page, filter the results by the categories
  YouTube Music offers, and keep your eight most recent searches.
• Playback from feeds, search results, and playlists, with seek, volume,
  previous and next track, shuffle, and repeat for the current track or the
  queue. A compact player stays available while you browse, and the full
  player shows the queue, lyrics, and related tracks.
• Auto-play, on by default, to add YouTube Music recommendations after the
  current queue ends, toggled from the queue.
• Appearance that follows the system theme or uses light or dark, with
  Material 3 palettes whose hue you can adjust or set from the current track's
  artwork.
• Audio cache for the ten most recently played tracks by default, with a
  configurable limit and folder and kept in a private cache folder. Set the
  limit to 0 to turn the cache off.
• Keyboard shortcuts for playback, navigation, search, and Settings, with
  a held modifier showing each button's key, all rebindable in Settings.
• System media controls through macOS Now Playing and Linux MPRIS, with
  track details, cover art, and playback state, and commands for play, pause,
  stop, previous, next, seek, volume, shuffle, and repeat.
• Account import from the YouTube Music session in Chrome, Safari,
  Firefox, Brave, Edge, or Helium, stored in the system credential store where
  one is available. Public browsing and playback need no account.
• Search menus: right-click a result on the search page, or an item in the
  panel under the search bar, to open its menu. A song offers Play next, Add to
  queue, Add to playlist and Copy link; an album, artist or playlist offers the
  page it names and its link, with Shuffle play for a playlist. The leading
  result offers the same menu, from a button on its artwork.
• Playlist search: an icon button beside a playlist page's Play and Shuffle
  buttons opens a bar that narrows the page to the songs whose title or artist
  holds what is typed. Play, Shuffle and a song's own place still use the whole
  playlist, so a match plays from where it sits in it.
• Tray mini player: the tray icon's menu opens a small player with the
  current track's artwork, a position slider, shuffle, previous, play or pause,
  next and repeat, and buttons to open Meiro or quit. On Linux it opens in the
  middle of the screen, since tray icons there report no clicks.
• Packages for macOS as one universal download that runs on Apple Silicon
  and Intel, and Linux amd64 and arm64 as .deb, .rpm, .AppImage, and
  .tar.gz. Full builds bundle ffmpeg and yt-dlp; minimal builds use the ones
  on your system.
• Automatic updates: the app checks once a day for a signed release, shows
  its notes, and offers to install, skip, or remind you later, with optional
  background installation in Settings. Package installs and development
  builds do not check.
