HUDTube
HUDTube was a Mac app that provided a heads-up display overlay for watching YouTube videos while working on other tasks. It allowed users to keep a small, floating video window on top of other applications, making it easy to multitask while watching content. The app was developed by Macoscope and offered features like resizable video windows, opacity controls, and the ability to pin videos to stay visible across different workspaces. It was particularly useful for users who wanted to watch tutorials, lectures, or entertainment while coding, writing, or performing other computer tasks.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionHUDTube appears to have been discontinued by its developer Macoscope, with no Apple Silicon version available. For a native alternative, consider PiPifier, which provides similar picture-in-picture functionality for YouTube and other video sites. PiPifier creates floating video windows that stay on top of other apps and works natively on Apple Silicon Macs. While it may not have all of HUDTube's specific customization options, it serves the same core purpose of allowing you to watch videos while multitasking. You could also use Safari's built-in Picture in Picture mode for YouTube, though it's less feature-rich than dedicated apps.
