SmoothTube is an independent Windows 11 YouTube client with a native desktop interface, subscriptions, search, continue watching, comments, playback fallbacks, and user-controlled YouTube API access.
I built SmoothTube because I wanted YouTube to feel like it actually belonged on Windows.
A lot of the development was AI-assisted and highly iterative, basically what people now call vibe coding but the goal was never just to generate something quickly. I kept refining it, testing ideas, fixing weird edge cases, and shaping it into something I genuinely wanted to use myself.
SmoothTube has a native Windows 11 interface with subscriptions, search, continue watching, comments, playback controls, and more.
It started as a personal project and slowly turned into something I felt was worth putting out into the world.
Would genuinely love to hear what you think, especially what you’d want improved or added next.
