I built an open-source YouTube music player with offline downloads.

I was frustrated that most music apps are filled with ads, tracking, subscriptions, and unnecessary clutter.

So I built Gravity Music — a free and open-source music player powered by YouTube, designed for people who simply want to listen to music without distractions.

What is Gravity Music?

Gravity Music is a lightweight music app that lets you search, play, and download songs for offline listening while keeping the experience clean and privacy-friendly.

Why I built it

I wanted a music player that felt:

• Lightweight instead of bloated
• Private instead of tracking-heavy
• Beautiful instead of cluttered
• Offline-friendly for travel and poor network conditions

This project also became a great opportunity to improve my skills in deployment, UI design, and performance optimization.

Feedback

This is still an actively evolving project, and I’d love feedback from other developers, Android users, Linux users, and music lovers.
