Nativune 0.1.31

Nativune is an unofficial, native Windows desktop app for YouTube Music. It shows the official YouTube Music website in its own window and adds native controls such as a Compact mini player, tray and taskbar buttons. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google or YouTube, and it does not download media or use a private playback API. It blocks ads only if you turn that on yourself (off by default).

Unsigned build. The installer is not yet Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show Unknown Publisher or a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning. Download only from this page and check the SHA-256 before running it.

What's new

  • Discord status: the author is now optional. Your Discord card shows a line under the artist that reads "Nativune 0.1.31 · by Hantu-Raya". A new Settings › Discord › Show the author (by Hantu-Raya) under the artist option lets you hide the author for a cleaner card. When it's off, the line reads just "Nativune 0.1.31". The option is on by default, so nothing changes unless you untick it. Clicking the cover still opens the Nativune repository.

Quick update

Setup is unchanged (version 1.0.2), so updating from 0.1.30 is a quick update: only the changed app files are downloaded.

Install

  1. Download Nativune-Setup.exe and SHA256SUMS.txt from this release.
  2. In PowerShell run Get-FileHash .\Nativune-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 and compare it with SHA256SUMS.txt. Expected: 5d10b8ae2cd964ff9134cdcaf085dc4f5c23f57fdd65b74f1892ea1754fa4fe9.
  3. Run Setup. It checks for the Microsoft .NET 10 Runtime, Windows App SDK, VC++ runtime and WebView2, and asks before installing any that are missing. Default location: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nativune. Upgrades keep your profile and settings.

If you already have Nativune 0.1.10 or later, the update button in the toolbar offers this version.

Build and known limits

Built by CI run 36327593832 from commit 3717617. The files here are that run's output, checked again after download. Windows x64 only. Setup version 1.0.2.

This is a small update. Only the release build, CI's checks (player regression checks, the release package, manifest, checksums and quick-update data) and a Codex code review ran before release. The app and the Discord end-to-end tests were not run for this change. The new option was not tried in the app or with the real Discord app.
