How to Install
Add Y2MATE to your phone's home screen so it opens like a native app. No App Store listing, no APK, no permissions beyond what the browser already has.
Install YouTube Converter
Install on iPhone / iPad
Open Y2MATE in Safari. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, scroll down, and tap Add to Home Screen. Give it a name and tap Add. You now have a home-screen icon that opens the converter in a full-screen web app, without the browser chrome.
Install on Android (Chrome)
Open the site in Chrome. Tap the three-dot menu and pick Add to Home screen (or Install app if you see it). Confirm the name. Android installs a WebAPK that behaves like a regular app — including in the app drawer and recent apps switcher.
Install on desktop (Chrome, Edge, Brave)
Look for the small install icon in the address bar (a monitor with a down arrow). Click it to install the site as a standalone desktop app. It gets its own Dock / Start menu entry and opens in a frameless window.
What you get
The site runs faster on subsequent visits because assets are cached. It opens without browser tabs or menus, giving you more screen space for the converter. Your URL history stays inside the app and is never mixed with normal browsing.

FAQ
Does installing give it extra access to my phone?
No. It runs in the same sandbox as any webpage. It only has access to the clipboard when you explicitly use the paste button.
Can I uninstall it easily?
Yes. Long-press the icon and tap Delete (iOS) or Uninstall (Android) — same as any other app.
