From the README
A native desktop YouTube Music client — Rust + Tauri, ad-free, no Electron.
Limusic talks directly to YouTube's internal API and plays audio through libmpv — no bundled browser runtime, no backend server, no ads in the audio. It started as a desktop rebuild of the playback engine behind Metrolist, an Android YouTube Music client, and grew from there.
