Grab the latest build from the landing page (OS is auto-detected) or from GitHub Releases on the repository.
| Platform | Artifact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | *-setup.exe (NSIS) | When published |
| macOS Apple Silicon | .dmg / .zip (arm64) | Shown on the landing page when published |
| macOS Intel | .dmg / .zip (x64) | Shown on the landing page when published |
macOS tabs stay visible even before assets ship — once Apple Silicon and Intel .dmg / .zip builds are attached to a release, both show in the listing (Apple Silicon preferred when detected).
App identity
The app name is Sweet Spot, also described as Sweet Spot for YouTube Music. Its codename, executable, and package name are sweetspot. Shared links use ssytm://.
| Integration | Identifier |
|---|---|
| Desktop app | ooo.bkk.sweetspot |
| Browser userscript namespace | sweetspot |
Sweet Spot uses its own app identity and data profile. When moving from an earlier installation, sign in and reconnect integrations in Sweet Spot; the earlier profile remains separate. Development uses an isolated sweetspot-dev profile.
First launch
- Install or unpack the build for your OS.
- Sign in to YouTube Music in the embedded browser.
- Open Settings → Appearance → Player skins to choose a look and open the dedicated player.
- Try Player → Equalizer, Player → General, and Player → Lyrics to set up your sound.
- Enable the local API only if you need a custom client.
macOS credential protection
Sweet Spot uses macOS Keychain to protect the keys for stored credentials. This is a security feature that lets the app remember approved integrations without leaving their encryption keys readable in its profile. Disposable caches do not request keychain access.
If macOS shows a Keychain or Secret Storage dialog, approve it only when you recognize Sweet Spot and trust the installed build. The password belongs in the macOS system dialog; Sweet Spot does not receive it. Repeated prompts can indicate a locked keychain or a changed app signature. Read Local data and privacy for details.
Updates
Official builds use electron-updater against GitHub Releases. Keep the app updated for security and feature fixes.
