Deskapp for YouTube This Mac App offers a dark mode which blackens white areas of the display. This saves your eyes the ache of viewing content on a large display in an otherwise dark room. On top of this, because it is a standalone basic app, it does well with RAM management.

Furthermore, if you are open tens of tabs at a time as most of us do while browsing the web, it is quite annoying when you have to hunt down for the YouTube tab to change the currently playing video.

Automatically pauses the video when hidden

To address these issues, Rocky Sand Studio has created DeskApp for YouTube, a free and straightforward macOS utility designed to provide you with a way to use YouTube as a native desktop app.

First things first, once launched on your Mac, DeskApp for YouTube will add a dock icon and a status bar menu, but you can customize this behavior by toggling any of them on or off via the General Preferences tab.

From this tab, you can also set DeskApp for YouTube to automatically pause the currently playing video when you hide its window and resume on its own when the app's main screen is brought back to the foreground.

Dark theme and Notification Center integration

Moreover, DeskApp for YouTube is designed as a wrapper around the official YouTube web app, which means that you have access to all of YouTube's features, from playlists to your library and the Creator Studio once you log in using your account.

As an extra advantage of using YouTube via the DeskApp for YouTube, you can choose a dark theme to replace the standard YouTube one to help you prevent eye strain while watching videos late in the night and set a custom opacity level using a slider control via the Preferences > Appearance tab.

DeskApp for YouTube also comes with support for macOS' Notification Center, and this means that you will get visual and audio notifications whenever YouTube needs to let you know that it needs your attention.

Low-key and streamlined Mac desktop client for Youtube

The app also comes with a 'Clear cache and cookies' options designed to help you fix faulty cookies problems which might break YouTube's interface or make way for various errors or video playback issues.

On the whole, DeskApp for YouTube worked flawlessly throughout the testing period and, besides global hotkeys support for some of its features, it has everything you need to enjoy watching YouTube videos on your Mac desktop without the need of a full-blown web browser.
