YouTube Music app for Windows
Cellar is a free YouTube Music desktop app for Windows. Sign in with your own account and get a real app in the taskbar instead of another browser tab.
Free for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux. Needs a YouTube Music account.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit.
- A Google account with YouTube Music.
Install
- Click Download for Windows to get the installer (.exe).
- Run it. You can pick the install folder; no administrator rights are needed.
- Open Cellar and sign in with Google. Sign-in opens in your own browser, on Google's page, so Cellar never sees your password.
The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway. Cellar updates itself after that.
Made for Windows
- Previous, play and pause, and next buttons under the taskbar thumbnail, with track progress on the icon.
- Media keys and the Windows media card, with cover art and a working seek bar.
- Mouse back and forward buttons, and Alt+Left and Alt+Right, move through pages.
- Optional launch at startup.
Questions
Is there an official YouTube Music app for Windows?
Google does not ship a dedicated YouTube Music desktop app. You can install the website as a web app from your browser, or use a desktop client such as Cellar.
Why does SmartScreen warn about the installer?
SmartScreen warns about installers without a paid code-signing certificate, which Cellar does not have yet. The download comes from Cellar's GitHub Releases page.
