Last updated: March 18, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Mixtuby (mixtuby.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. Description of Service

Mixtuby is a free web application that allows users to create and manage music playlists using YouTube's embedded player. We do not host, download, or store any audio or video content. All media is streamed directly from YouTube via their official Iframe API, in compliance with YouTube's Terms of Service.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Mixtuby. If you are between 13 and 18, you must have parental or guardian consent. By using the service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

4. User Accounts

You may create an account using email/password or Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must provide accurate information when creating an account.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or its systems
  • Interfere with or disrupt the service's operation
  • Use the service for any illegal purpose
  • Circumvent rate limits or security measures
  • Use automated tools to scrape or abuse the service

6. Intellectual Property

All content played through Mixtuby belongs to their respective copyright holders. Mixtuby does not claim ownership of any third-party content. The Mixtuby interface, design, logo, and code are our intellectual property.

7. YouTube Content

By using Mixtuby, you also agree to be bound by YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy. Mixtuby is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.

Advertisements (when shown) are served by YouTube based on their algorithms, your YouTube account status, geographic location, and the video owner's monetization settings — not by Mixtuby. We do not block, modify, or interfere with YouTube ads. Ad presence may vary; you may or may not see ads at any given time.

Background playback (audio with screen locked or app backgrounded) on mobile devices is controlled by YouTube's policies and your browser. As of 2026, YouTube restricts background playback on third-party sites for non-Premium users. With YouTube Premium, background playback works on Mixtuby across supported devices.

7.5. Workout Mode & Cycle Awareness (Premium)

Mixtuby's optional Workout Mode (premium subscription) provides general fitness coaching, exercise tutorials, and — for users who choose to enable it — menstrual cycle phase predictions to optimize training intensity.

Not medical advice. The fitness, nutrition, and cycle-related content is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Mixtuby is not a contraception tool, fertility planning tool, pregnancy tracker, or medical device.

Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program, especially if you are pregnant, have a chronic condition (PCOS, endometriosis, heart issues, joint problems), are recovering from surgery, or have any medical concerns. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, or unusual symptoms.

Cycle predictions are statistical estimates based on standard cycle math (cycle length minus 14 days for ovulation). Actual ovulation, fertile windows, and period dates vary by individual. Do not use these predictions to prevent or achieve pregnancy.

Subscription cancellation: you may cancel the Workout Mode subscription at any time from Profile Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Mixtuby is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mixtuby shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of our service.

10. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from Profile Settings. Upon deletion, all your data (playlists, settings, personal information) will be permanently removed within 30 days.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. The "Last updated" date will reflect changes. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Romania.

App Guide

What is Mixtuby?

A free YouTube music mixer. Paste links or browse curated albums, build playlists with A-B loop on each track, and enjoy crossfade playback. No account required.

Quick Start

1

Add music

Search for songs directly, paste YouTube links, or scroll down and tap any curated album card. Preview tracks before adding — tap ▶ to listen, drag the seekbar to seek, then tap + to add to your playlist.

2

Play & customize each track

Press Play, then tap the settings icon on any track in your playlist to set its speed, A-B loop region, and volume. Tap Next to save and move to the next track.

3

Enjoy continuous playback

Tracks play with smooth crossfade. Your playlist, position, and settings auto-save — come back anytime and resume where you left off.

Continue on another device

Start a song on your phone, finish it on your laptop. Sign in with the same account on both — cross-device resume is off for guests.

1

Play on one device

Listen as usual. While music is playing, Mixtuby quietly saves your current track, exact position, and whole queue every few seconds.

2

Open Mixtuby on the other device

A toast slides in at the top: “Resumed from iPhone · 2:14” — showing where you left off. Nothing changes until you choose.

3

You decide — import or dismiss

Two clear choices, never automatic — see below.

→
Tap the toast to import Tap the toast (the → arrow) and your full queue jumps over and continues from the exact second you left off on the other device.
×
Tap × to keep this device Don't want it? Tap × and whatever is already on this device stays untouched. The toast also closes on its own after 30 seconds if you ignore it.

Search & Preview

The fastest way to build a playlist — search, listen, and add without leaving the page.

▶
Preview a track Tap ▶ on any search result to hear it instantly. The full track plays in the main player with a seekbar on the result row.
DRAG
Seek within preview Drag the seekbar on the previewing track to jump to any point. A time bubble shows the exact position.
+
Add to playlist Tap + to add the track to your playlist. Preview stops automatically. Switch between results freely — only the last tapped plays.
TIP
Quick playlist workflow Search → ▶ preview → + add → search again → repeat. When done, tap Start Mix. Your previewed and added tracks are ready to play with crossfade!

Find a Song by Lyrics

Forgot the title but remember a line — or just a few fuzzy words? Open the By Lyrics tab (the magnifier, next to Quick Start and Add Tracks) and let Mixtuby find it for you.

TYPE
Type or paste a line you remember Type a chorus line, paste a whole refrain, or just a few half-remembered words — the box grows to fit. Exact wording, spelling and order don't matter; a close fragment is enough.
🔍
Tap Search Nothing happens as you type — tap the search button when you're ready. Mixtuby checks its own catalog first, and only reaches out to find the song if it needs to.
💡
Not sure? Pick a “Did you mean?” suggestion If your words are too fuzzy to match exactly, Mixtuby AI suggests up to 3 songs it thinks you mean (artist — title, with the real line). Tap the right one and it loads into your player.
▶
Tap a result to play Found it? Tap the matching song and it loads straight into your player, ready to go.

Hidden Gestures

These are not obvious from the UI — learn them to get the most out of Mixtuby.

HOLD
Skip 5s buttons Tap to skip 5 seconds. Hold down to skip 5s every 0.3 seconds continuously until you release.
TAP / HOLD
A: and :B markers Tap the A: or :B label to set it to the current playback time. Long press to type a specific time manually.
TAP

Per-Track Settings

Tap the gear icon on any track in your playlist to open its settings. Each track can have its own:

  • Speed — 0.25x to 2x (great for practice or podcasts)
  • A-B Loop — set start/end points, loop count, and what happens after loop ends
  • Volume — override the global volume for this track

Tap Next in the dialog to save and jump to the next track — perfect for setting up an entire playlist quickly.

Settings Panel

Open Settings (gear icon in navbar) to find these options:

Sleep Timer Set a timer (15m to 120m) and music fades out automatically. A countdown badge appears in the player. Tap again to cancel.
App Notifications Opt in to get a daily “Your daily mix is ready” reminder, even when Mixtuby is closed. Off by default — turn it off anytime and the device is unsubscribed. On iPhone you must install Mixtuby to your Home Screen first.
Now Playing Shows the track name as an in-app toast (and a browser notification) when a new song starts, even with Mixtuby in the background. Stays on your device — off by default.
Crossfade & Gapless Crossfade blends tracks together (1-30s). Turn it off and enable Gapless for instant track transitions with no overlap.
Stars Theme, Video Quality, Audio Mode Enable animated stars background, choose video quality (360p–1080p), or switch to Audio-only mode to save data.

Ducks fall slowly, tap to catch with warm particle effects. Screen dims progressively. Based on Cognitive Shuffle, bilateral tapping, and progressive dimming.

Works for gym, running, studying, cooking, driving — any activity where you want only the best parts.

Why don't I always see ads?

Ad display is controlled entirely by YouTube — based on the video owner's monetization settings, autoplay behavior, your region, and your YouTube account. Mixtuby does not block ads. They may appear at any time.

How do I listen with the screen locked?

Sign in with YouTube Premium. As of 2026, YouTube restricts background playback on third-party sites for non-Premium users. With Premium, Mixtuby unlocks background playback automatically — including lock-screen controls and Bluetooth headphone buttons.

Control from your car, lock screen & Bluetooth

Mixtuby talks to your device's built-in media controls — so you can skip tracks without touching the screen. Perfect for driving, the gym, or pocket listening.

🚗
Car & Bluetooth buttons Steering-wheel, infotainment, and earbud/headphone next/previous and play/pause buttons control Mixtuby directly.
🔒
Title & artwork on display The lock screen and car display show the current track title and artwork, with skip and pause controls.
🎙️
"Hey Google, next track" / Siri Use Google Assistant on Android or Siri Now Playing on iOS to skip tracks by voice. (This is your phone's assistant — Mixtuby has no built-in voice command.)

With the screen on and Mixtuby in the foreground, these controls work for everyone. For the real hands-free case — screen off or phone in your pocket — you need YouTube Premium (see "How do I listen with the screen locked?" above).

You're offline

Playback requires an internet connection. Your playlist and position are saved — music will resume automatically when you're back online.
