Beatbump

A privacy-respecting alternative frontend for YouTube Music. Built with SvelteKit, official instance hosted with Cloudflare Workers.

NOTE: Beatbump is going through a major rewrite, so errors, bugs, and other problems may happen at random.

Why Beatbump?

Beatbump is a fully-featured music listening experience, while helping to ease your privacy concerns associated with other platforms.

Some of Beatbump's features includes:

• Automix for continued listening
• No ads
• Background play on mobile devices*
• Search for artists, playlists, songs, and albums
  • Note that all playback is audio only (for now)
• Local playlist management
  • Stored in-browser with IndexedDB
  • Can save songs individually under 'Favorites'
  • Peer-to-Peer data synchronization (using WebRTC)
• Group Sessions
  • Achieved using a WebRTC mesh
• Uses a custom wrapper around the YouTube Music API

...and so much more!

DockerHub

docker-compose (production)

The quickest way to host a Beatbump instance is with Docker. Once you have it installed, you can run:

docker-compose up

The app will now be accessible from https://localhost:443 / http://localhost:3000.

docker-compose (development)

(More details coming soon!)

Documentation

You can find (temporary, incomplete, and in-progress) API documentation here: https://beatbump-docs.vercel.app/

It's recommended (and appreciated) to host your own instance of Beatbump for public projects that want to use the data -- especially if you anticipate you will be making a large amount of requests. Thanks!
