ByTune v1.0.0

ByTune 1.0.0 — production release for Windows and macOS.

ByTune is a free, open-source YouTube Music desktop app: stream from YouTube Music, keep your own local library, and get word-synced lyrics, a fullscreen player, a mini player, and real downloads — in one fast, native app.

What's included

• YouTube Music streaming with search, charts, moods, queue, and playlists
• Local music library import (MP3, M4A/AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, Opus) alongside streaming
• Word-synced lyrics with a 14-provider fallback chain, plus a fullscreen lyrics view
• Replay: your listening history, synced to your ByTune account
• Picture-in-picture mini player, crossfade transitions, and a 10-band-friendly playback speed control
• Cloud sync of library, playlists, and preferences across devices via ByTune accounts
• Media key support with double-press next-track recognition for headset buttons, and automatic pause when your output device (e.g. headphones) is unplugged
• Instant cold starts: artist info, home feed, and market data are cached to disk
• macOS edition: native menu bar, dark mode support, both Apple Silicon and Intel builds

Downloads

Windows (10/11, 64-bit): ByTune-Setup.exe

macOS 11+:

• Apple Silicon: ByTune-1.0.0-arm64.dmg (ZIP also attached)
• Intel: ByTune-1.0.0-x64.dmg (ZIP also attached)

Installation notes

• Windows: the installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen may show a warning — choose "More info" → "Run anyway".
• macOS: the builds are unsigned and not notarized. On first launch, right-click ByTune.app in Applications and choose Open (needed once).

This release resets the version line: it replaces all previous ByTune releases in full.
