About
Snowdrop keeps the clean, Apple Music-like layout of Kaset and adds a full YouTube mode, Shorts, a floating player, themes and automatic updates. Everything lives in one native window with a floating glass sidebar and player bar.
What it does
- YouTube Music: recommendations organized like the original client, in a floating glass sidebar
- YouTube mode: switch with one button at the bottom of the sidebar, with topic chips and a grid like the real home page
- Shorts: a vertical player with like, dislike, share and next/previous buttons
- Floating player: an overlay that shows what is playing, a song or a video, and lets you control it
- Subtitles: a CC button in the player bar. Click to toggle, right-click to pick a language
- Keys: K play/pause, J and L skip 10 seconds, C captions, F fullscreen
- Themes with adjustable window transparency and blur
- Updates itself: checks for new releases and installs them in one click
Requirements
- macOS 15.4 or later (Apple Intelligence features need macOS 26)
- A Google account for signed-in playback
Install
- Download the latest
.dmgfrom Releases. - Open it and drag Snowdrop to Applications.
