About

VacuumTube brings YouTube Leanback, the interface made for consoles and Smart TVs, to your computer as a standalone app. It suits a couch setup, since it supports game controllers as well as touch input.

It wraps the official Leanback page in Electron and presents itself as the YouTube TV app, which regular browsers are blocked from using. It adds a built-in ad blocker, DeArrow and custom userstyles, with settings inside YouTube's own settings menu. Builds are available for Windows, macOS and Linux, including Flatpak, AppImage and deb packages.

Highlights

  • Runs YouTube's TV interface in a desktop window
  • Supports game controllers and touch input
  • Built-in ad blocker, DeArrow and userstyles

Who it's for
