About:
MenuTube is a macOS utility that overlays YouTube playback directly in the menu bar, allowing users to watch videos while multitasking. It provides a persistent, compact player interface that floats above other applications, eliminating the need to keep a browser window open. This tool is designed to boost productivity by minimizing context switching between work and entertainment.
Key Features:
  • Menu bar overlay for continuous YouTube playback
  • Picture-in-picture style floating window
  • Compact interface with essential controls
  • Browser-free video viewing experience
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring tutorial videos while coding or designing
  • Watching content during work without switching windows
  • Background video playback for music or podcasts
Alternatives:
  • PiP Tool – Browser extension vs native menu bar app
  • YouTube Native PiP – Built-in browser feature vs dedicated desktop utility
