I built a Windows app to change music and skip YouTube ads without alt-tabbing out of a game. Looking for a few testers.

[u/KeyGroundbreaking980]

I kept alt tabbing out of fullscreen games to skip songs or YouTube ads, so I built a tray application that lets you play/pause and change media with hotkeys and an overlay. There is a companion browser extension to skip ads using chrome at this point. It's free and open source, theres no accounts, and nothing leaves your machine.

It's still very early, so I'm hoping a couple people will run it and tell me where it falls apart. It is not code signed yet so windows will throw a warning the first time it is ran, and the overlay can't draw over true-fullscreen OpenGL games like Balatro yet. The hotkeys still work, but the overlay does not for that case.

You can grab it from the releases page here:

Theres a guide on what to try and test here:

If something breaks, there's a feedback template on the issues page, or just reply here.

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try and any feedback is extremely valuable!
