Yoru

YouTube Music, played natively.

Music streams straight from YouTube Music and is decoded inside the app, with no web view or separate player behind it.

Truly native

A music app, not a browser tab.

Yoru is written in Rust and does its own streaming and decoding. Playback never touches a web view, so it starts fast, stays light and keeps working like a real desktop app. Sign in for your library, or just listen anonymously.

  • Decoded in-process
  • Windows and macOS
  • Sign in or stay anonymous

Visualizer

MilkDrop, right inside your player.

Yoru runs projectM, the open MilkDrop engine, so presets react to whatever is playing. Go immersive and let it fill the window.

Your music

Browse, queue, and know what you're hearing.

Home, playlists and your library sit beside a player that always shows the details: album, length, audio format and where the lyrics come from.
