Hi PH!
Drew here, founder of DBK Labs, with an exciting announcement - we are launching a YouTube app for macOS! Clicker for YouTube is a standalone macOS app designed with the goal of creating the best YouTube experience possible on a Mac.
Here's a rundown of the top features:
🚀 Launch YouTube right from your Dock
🖼️ Picture-in-Picture w/ custom video controls
🛑 Built-in ad blocker
☝️ Like/Dislike and toggle Autoplay from the Touch Bar
💤 Sleep timer w/ auto-shut off
📟 Native push notifications
⚡ Quick access to subscriptions from the Menu Bar
Native macOS design language
🖥️ Truly Full Screen Browsing
📤 Upload video from within the app
🌚 Auto-switch to Dark Mode
🔋 Written in Swift for great performance
My favorite feature personally is the sleep timer, which allows you to set your computer to go to sleep after 30 minutes (or whatever duration you select). This lets me fall asleep to YouTube on autoplay without worrying about my battery dying in the middle of the night!
To celebrate the launch, I am offering a special discount - for the next 24 hours, you can get the new app for only $3.99 with code LAUNCHPROMO20 at checkout ($4 off retail!). There is also a free 7-day trial of the app if you want to try it out first :)
I hope you are staying safe during these difficult times, and if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them in the comments below.
Best,
Drew Koch, Founder, DBK Labs LLC
P.S. Yes, it does work on Big Sur and yes, it can stream at up to 8K HDR!
@drewbkoch There is one missing feature that is preventing me from using Clicker for YouTube: Auto-liking. I use a Chrome extension that auto-likes videos when I reach 50% of the way through the video. I really, really wish Clicker provided a similar feature so that I didn't have to manually like each video I watch.
@drewbkoch I wanted to check before I bought it, but since it's based on Safari, is there audio distortion at higher speeds like Safari itself? I always speed up my videos on Youtube, and basically cannot watch anything not at 1.75x speed anymore, so if there is audio distortion at higher speeds, there's almost no way I can use this app.
Love the App. It will change the way you consume YouTube. Also check Clicker for Netflix
I have Clickr for Netflix which is pretty decent, but I won't be getting the YouTube version simply because I don't want to have a different Clickr for every streaming service I use. It's like having a different TV for each channel. Need to work on a Clickr for Streams that combines Netflix, Youtube, Disney, Apple etc akin to Friendly Streaming. Decent apps though.
Love this app. I’ve been supporting the dev for a while and have the Netflix, Amazon prime , Disney plus and now the YouTube clicker. All great apps and if I ever have an issue I get a response within a couple of hours, which I appreciate. I get the sjw crowd may not like the built in ad blocker but if it didn’t have one I personally would have asked for a refund. I use ad blocker on my pc and vanced on my phone because ads are annoying to me. Call it what you want, I personally don’t care and my time is more important than giving someone with 11 million subs 3 ad views in 5 minutes. Anyway, the app and dev are great. Keep up the great work.
