About

Companion for YouTube Music puts a full mini player in your toolbar, so you can control music.youtube.com without ever switching tabs.  
  
- Player: album art, per-artist links, play/pause, previous/next, like/dislike, shuffle, repeat, seek and volume  
- Queue: see what's coming with artwork, jump to any track, play next, remove, drag to reorder; autoplay suggestions are labeled and toggleable  
- History: your real YouTube Music listening history, click to replay  
- Search: songs and videos, play or queue them straight from results  
- Playlists: browse your library, play any playlist, or add the current song to one  
- Lyrics: time-synced lyrics from LRCLIB with a live highlight; strictly opt-in and limited to official songs  
- Sleep timer with presets and custom minutes  
- Keyboard shortcuts you can rebind right in the popup  
- Dark, light or system theme with eight accent colors, plus an optional accent-colored toolbar icon  
  
Privacy: no analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Everything runs against your open YouTube Music tab with your existing session. The only external request is the opt-in lyrics lookup, which sends the current track's title and artist to lrclib.net - nothing else, nowhere else.
