Hyperpipe
Privacy-respecting web frontend for YouTube Music
Hyperpipe is a privacy-respecting alternative web frontend for YouTube Music, inspired by projects like Piped and powered by YouTube’s InnerTube API. It provides a standalone web UI for browsing and playing music content sourced from YouTube Music.
Key Features
- Web-based YouTube Music player UI using the InnerTube API
- Focus on privacy-respecting access to YouTube Music content
- Client-side app built with modern frontend tooling
- Theming support (including Dracula and Nord-inspired themes)
- Audio/video playback powered by an embedded web player library
Use Cases
- Use a lightweight alternative interface for YouTube Music playback
- Run a privacy-focused frontend instance for personal or community use
- Redirect YouTube Music links to an alternative player UI via browser redirect tools
Limitations and Considerations
- Marked as very experimental by the author; breaking changes and bugs are expected
- Project repository has been archived, which may limit future updates and maintenance
Hyperpipe is best suited for users who want a simpler, privacy-oriented YouTube Music experience and are comfortable running an experimental, community-style frontend. It can be deployed as an instance and used directly or as a redirect target for YouTube Music links.
