Warning
YTLitePlus (this repository) is deprecated and should not be used. I may never update it as YTPlus is now paid.
YouMod is a lightweight, open-source alternative that aims to recreate the most popular YTLite features after YTLite became paid. If you prefer a simpler, single-tweak approach over YTLitePlus’s all-in-one bundle, YouMod may be worth considering.
- Fully open source (GPLv3) - YouMod's entire codebase makes much more sense for doing PRs and etc than YTLitePlus’s.
- Lightweight architecture - single tweak with fewer dependencies, less chance of tweak conflicts.
- UI customization - OLED theme, OLED keyboard, tab bar reordering, navigation bar and player element hiding.
- Built-in downloading - supports video and audio downloads with quality selection.
- Element hiding - hide Shorts, posts, premium upsells, fullscreen action buttons, and more.
- Modern feature set - recreates many YTLite-era features (feed mods, player controls, Shorts customization). And features are more stable than uYouEnahanced!
- No lite version spoofing - cannot spoof the YouTube app version to bypass update prompts and as a need to "fix" some features that break.
- No exclusive features - lacks LowContrastMode, NotificationsTab, YTAppVersionSpoofer, and other YTLitePlus extras, other features differ from another.
- Some reported bugs - open issues include problems with fullscreen action hiding, Shorts feed visibility, and time slider positioning on certain YouTube versions, but much better than YTLitePlus’s list of problems.
TL;DR: YouMod is a great choice if you want a lightweight, open-source tweak focused on UI customization and basic downloading. If you need advanced download reliability, SponsorBlock, PiP, dislike counts, or comprehensive YouTube-bug fixes, uYouEnhanced remains as a different feature-complete option.
