YTLite is a modified YouTube client and a set of specialized extensions designed to provide expanded controls over playback, layout, and content visibility. It functions as a playback enhancer and interface customizer that allows for the modification of the native video platform experience.
The project integrates SponsorBlock to automatically skip sponsored segments using community-driven timing data and restores the visibility of dislike counts on videos. It unlocks high-resolution streaming, enabling 2K and 4K playback, and provides a media downloader for saving videos, audio tracks, and images directly to local device storage.
The toolset includes interface layout customization to remove feed elements and reorder tabs, as well as display optimizations to prevent device notches from obscuring video content. Additional capabilities cover picture-in-picture support, quick playback quality adjustments via custom overlays, and general application data management for configuration settings.
