The YouTube Music controls you’ve been missing.

Add precise playback controls, useful automation, a compact mini player, and more without replacing the YouTube Music experience you already use.

Control playback across YouTube Music tabs, seek within a track, fine-tune volume and playback speed, choose stream quality, and manage shuffle and repeat.

<strong>Key Features</strong>

<strong>Connected Apps (Beta)</strong>

Want controls outside the browser? Optional, separately installed Connected Apps bring now-playing details and playback controls to the macOS menu bar, Windows system tray, and terminal. They are disabled by default and exchange now-playing details and user-requested controls locally with the extension on your device.

<strong>Private by Design</strong>

YTM Enhancer is open source and includes no analytics or tracking. It stores settings in your browser profile and does not send your listening data to project-operated servers.
