This release turns the app into a real playlist editor — change your YouTube Music playlists directly, no browser round-trips.

✨ Edit your playlists

  • Add / remove songs — right-click a song (or use its Details) to add it to another playlist or remove it. Changes apply instantly on your account.
  • Bulk edits — shift/⌘-click to select many songs, then add or remove them all at once.
  • Remove repeated songs — right-click a playlist to delete the extra copies of any song listed more than once (keeps one).

✨ Create playlists

Make a new YouTube Music playlist from a selection of songs (right-click → "New playlist from…") or from the combined songs of your selected playlists ("Create Playlist from Selected"). It's created on your account and imported into the app.

✨ Custom song names

Give a song your own searchable name — great for titles with unusual characters or in another language. Shows in a "Custom Name" column and is matched by the Search box; the real title always stays in Details.

✨ Never lose a removed song

When you update a playlist, any song that got taken down/removed is archived (title + artist) in that playlist's Removed Songs, so you can still find it. You can also Export any playlist to CSV.

🛡 Smarter & safer

  • Edit actions know which playlists you own and grey out the ones you can't edit.
  • Header-requiring operations check your session up front, so the queue/create no longer grinds for seconds only to fail at the end on expired headers — you're prompted to refresh immediately.

Installing on macOS

  1. Download YouTubeMusicPlaylistManager-0.6.0-macOS.zip below and unzip it.
  2. Move YouTube Music Playlist Manager.app to your Applications folder.
  3. The app isn't notarized by Apple (that needs a paid developer account), so macOS blocks it on first launch. The simplest fix: double-click it once (it gets blocked), then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click Open Anyway next to "YouTube Music Playlist Manager."
    • Or, clear the quarantine flag in Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/YouTube Music Playlist Manager.app"
    • (On older macOS you can also right-click the app → OpenOpen.)

Most features (editing, creating playlists, the queue) need a one-time queue-header setup in Settings → Set Queue Headers. Your data and headers stay local.
