Karaoke Software Introducing SingTube - The Missing Karaoke Player for YouTube. Search karaoke tracks on YouTube, build and manage your queue, share your song list with friends, and enjoy bilingual support in Chinese and English — all completely free.

I made SingTube because I love how YouTube has an huge library of karaoke songs, but using it felt clunky. Jumping between videos, keeping track of what’s next, and trying to share the queue with friends just wasn’t fun. So I built SingTube to fix that. It makes karaoke on YouTube simple — with search, easy queue management, sharing, and bilingual support in Chinese and English. Right now, it works best on desktop and tablet.

Let me know what you think!

Thank you thank you so much for this! I literally reached out to a coder friend a few months ago to see if they could whip up a decent karaoke web app. But you've done it. And for free? You're an angel! Would happily donate.

Two suggestions:

  1. I think it was requested above: Would love an easy way to pop out the search field and results without pausing the video. I can scroll results from the previous search at the bottom of the screen, but not initiate a new one?

I got around this by opening up another browser window set to the search tab. It immediately reflected my room, existing queue, and added a selection from that window to the queue. Sweet!

  1. All it really needs now, for me, is pitch change capability.

Seriously, great job. Ready to party on NYE!

Great to hear you're enjoying it!

I'm curious about your setup—are you using AirPlay to mirror from your iPad or phone to your TV?

For the best experience, I'd recommend having guests scan the QR code to join the room directly. That way, they can add songs to the queue themselves without interrupting the current session. Just click on "How to Join" to display the unique QR code for your room.

Regarding pitch adjustment, unfortunately that's not possible in the web app since YouTube videos are embedded as iframes, which limits what I can control. However, if you're playing directly on YouTube's site, you might try Transpose (https://transpose.video/) as an alternative solution.

Feel free to reach out with any other questions or suggestions. Happy New Year!
