Built-in addons

KasetPlus brings useful community tools directly into the app. No browser extensions are required, and every addon can be enabled independently from:

Settings → Addons

	Ad Blocker Removes advertising data before it reaches the interface, blocks known ad requests and skips any ad playback that still gets through. Uses response pruning, WKContentRuleList filtering and player-side ad detection.
	SponsorBlock Automatically jumps past community-marked sponsorships and other unwanted segments. Skipped sections remain visible as green markers on the progress bar, while a localized notification lets you know when a skip happens.
	Return YouTube Dislike Brings back an estimated dislike count beside YouTube’s rating controls, making it easier to evaluate a video before watching it.
	DeArrow Replaces clickbait titles with community-written alternatives across Home, Search and Watch pages. Use the ↔ control whenever you want to reveal the original title.

Tip

Addons are optional. Enable only the ones that match the way you use YouTube.

More than addons

On-device AI summaries Turn a video’s captions into a concise TL;DR, its key points and a description of the intended audience. Processing happens on your Mac through Apple Intelligence, with no external API key required.	Video and audio downloads Download videos or extract MP3 audio, choose the preferred quality and preview estimated file sizes. Subtitles can be saved as .srt files or embedded directly into the video.
Lyrics for YouTube videos Search LRCLib and display lyrics inline while watching regular YouTube videos. The search fields remain editable when the detected artist or song title needs correcting.	Distraction-free viewing Hide comments and the related-videos rail without removing the player or video information. Keep the video at the centre of the experience.

Additional improvements include comment search, extra playback controls, clickable timestamps and a more refined watch-page experience.
