## 🧠 Dumb Mode Dictionary

- **YTMusicUltimate** – open-source mod for the official YouTube Music app on iOS.
- **Jailbreak way** – install it like a normal tweak from a repo.
- **Sideload way** – build a patched YT Music `.ipa` from GitHub, then install with PlumeImpactor / AltStore / SideStore / friends.
- **Decrypted IPA** – your own backup of YouTube Music from your device. No, nobody is dropping that file for you.

## 🎧 All The Good Stuff (Full Feature Pack)

On top of the “no ads / proper background play / extra toggles”, here’s what people miss when they only skim the repo:

- ⛔ **[SponsorBlock support](https://sponsor.ajay.app)** – auto-skip non-music segments / talking intros.
- 💾 **Download music button** – extra button under the player to download audio + artwork.
- ✏ **Rename downloads** – rename your saved tracks from inside the app.
- 🧹 **Clear cache** – nuke cached junk from YTMusicUltimate settings.
- 🫣 **Hide Downloads tab** – clean up the UI if you don’t want that tab visible.
- 🐢⚡ **Playback rate button** – proper speed control on the player.
- 🪟 **Mini-player everywhere** – mini-player for all media, enabled by default.
- 😴 **“You there?” popup gone** – disables the annoying inactivity check.
- 🎧 **Download original audio** – grab the original stream instead of forced mp3 convert.

Plus the usual:

- True background + screen-off playback
- Dark / OLED themes
- Extra player + navigation options (hide junk tabs, change behavior, etc.)

## 📱 Supported iOS & Devices (Real-World Reports)

- Works on **iOS 12 → 18.5+** in the wild.
- BuildStore flavour wants **iOS 16.0+**.
- Confirmed across **iPhone 11 up to the 16 series**.

Short version: if your iPhone isn’t from the dinosaur age, you’re probably fine.

* * *

## 🧰 Tools You Can Use

Besides the usual AltStore/SideStore gang, you can use:

- **PlumeImpactor** (with hidden IPA tricks – see 1Hack guide below)
- **[AltStore](https://altstore.io)**
- **[SideStore](https://sidestore.io)**
- **[Sideloadly](https://sidestore.io)**
- **[Bullfrog Assistant](https://ios222.com)**
- **[Azule](https://github.com/Al4ise/Azule)** (GitHub) – for injecting the tweak into your own YT Music IPA before sideloading

## ⚙ Install – Stupid-Short Version

Done.

### 2️⃣ Non-Jailbroken (Build & Sideload)

1. **Fork** the repo:

2. **(If updating)** hit **“Sync fork”** first to pull the latest version.

3. Grab a **decrypted YouTube Music IPA** from your own device.

4. On your fork:

5. When it’s done, open your fork’s **Releases** page and grab the new `.ipa`.

6. Sideload that `.ipa` with **PlumeImpactor / AltStore / SideStore / Sideloadly / Bullfrog Assistant**.
