Play background audio from YT

Only for Mac

Free · In‑App Purchases

Mac

Closing your browser shouldn’t interrupt what you were listening to on YouTube. Tubist keeps your audio separate from the browser, so it continues playing while you work, switch apps, or clean up browser tabs. It lives quietly in the macOS menu bar and stays out of the way.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

- Added support for more variants of YouTube URLs. Yes, even without the www. - Fixed an issue that prevented Tubist from dismissing automatically after playback started.
