YouTubePC is a clean, fast desktop app built just for watching — your feed, Shorts, and search, without a browser full of open tabs.
No uploading, no channel setup, no notifications about things you didn't ask for.
Pick your interests once, and the more you watch, the sharper your Home feed gets.
Full-screen, swipeable, one after another — no scrolling through a grid first.
Real results, real thumbnails, real channels — not a guess.
Easy on the eyes, day or night — because that's how most people actually watch.
Watch history and watch-later, saved locally on your own PC.
Lives in your taskbar like any other app — no tab to lose in a pile of twenty others.
YouTubePC is free, and that's how it stays that way. Every time you open the app fresh — not while you're already using it, just on launch — you'll see two quick ads before your feed loads. Close the app and reopen it, and it happens again; stay open, and it won't bother you at all. No ads pop up mid-video, no interruptions while you're actually watching.
Grab the installer below — it's a single file.
Run it and click through — done in a few seconds.
Choose a few topics, and your feed starts adjusting from the first video.
Free to download. Works on Windows 10 and 11.

Yes. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning since the app is new and not yet code-signed — that's normal for independent apps. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to continue.
It's its own app, not a tab you'll lose among twenty others — and the feed adjusts to what you actually watch from the first video.
