Notice: Development has temporarily been paused. New updates, including bug fixes, will not be released during this time. Please forgive the short inconvenience; development will resume fairly soon.
Swishbox is a Youtube music player made for people who rely on Youtube's vast video library for their music needs. It keeps the listening experience simple: search to find music, click to queue song. Enjoy doing what you love, distraction-free.
NOTE: This project is in EARLY DEVELOPMENT. Expect incomplete/unintentional behavior as a part of testing Swishbox. We encourage our early testers to share feature requests or any trouble they had with the app on the project issues page. Thank you for taking part in Swishbox's first development stages.
Swishbox in four easy steps:
- Open the search box and type in a song title, artist, genre, etc.
- Click on any song in the results to add it to your playlist.
- Wait for the song to download. It will start playing once it is finished. (optional: add more songs while it is loading)
- Be happy!
The goal is to be as simple as it can be so it doesn't get in your way.
All of Swishbox's releases can be found here. As of now, it is recommended that all testers download the latest nightly release.
