YouTube TUI

Lightweight, aesthetically pleasing terminal UI for browsing and watching YouTube content, with an embedded mpv player.

Desktopfreeglobal

A lightweight terminal user interface written in Rust for browsing and launching YouTube playback from the terminal, relying on external players to handle playback. It preserves a terminal-first workflow by handing off video or audio to mpv (with an optional embedded mpv music mode) and is aimed at terminal-focused and minimalist desktop users on Linux and Windows; the project is open-source under GPL-3.0.
