GlassTube plays YouTube videos on the display of your Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. Search right from your wrist, or send a link from the iPhone app. Sit still, and the picture floats over the room.
A native iPhone app (iOS 26) plus a web app on the glasses. Not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

How it works
Pair once. Send, search, watch.
The iPhone app finds the video and hands it over. The glasses play it, and your wrist runs the show.
01Glasses + iPhone
Pair with a six-character code
The glasses show a short code; type it once in the iPhone app. After that the pair keeps itself linked for a year past the last time either device spoke, so reopening the app reconnects on its own.
02iPhone or wrist
Send a video, or search for one
Paste or share a link into the app, search on the phone and send one result or all 20, or search on the glasses themselves with a letter grid you walk with the band.
03Glasses
Watch, hands free
The video plays on the display. Pinch to pause, swipe to skip ahead or move to the next one. It plays best when your phone and glasses are on the same Wi-Fi.
On the display
Made for a display you look through.
Black is see-through on these glasses, so GlassTube keeps its screens dark and puts red only where your eye needs to land: the cursor, the progress line, the next thing to press.

IllustrationsRecreated from GlassTube's glasses display code with placeholder text and an abstract picture. Not photos of the glasses or of any real video.
Wrist controls
Four directions and a pinch.
GlassTube runs on the Neural Band that pairs with the glasses. The middle-finger back gesture stays with the glasses' own menu, so back in GlassTube is a swipe left.

Features
A real app on both ends.
The glasses side is built for a glance and a pinch. The iPhone side is native SwiftUI, not a wrapped web page.
Five tabs on the iPhone
Send: paste or share a link, recently sent, saved videos, your playlists and channels. Search: tap a result to send it, or send all 20. Library: subscriptions, playlists, liked and watch later once you sign in. Glasses: pairing, and a framed live preview of the glasses screen. Settings: appearance, accent, data saver, haptics, account and diagnostics.
Search from your wrist
No sign-in and no keyboard needed. A ten-wide letter grid you walk with the band, with your recent searches above it.
Continue watching
Every video remembers where you left it, and lists show a red progress line on the thumbnail.
Your library on the glasses
Sign in on the phone and browse subscriptions, playlists, liked videos and watch later. Recents, channels and playlists you send also show up on the glasses.
Player settings
Sound, English captions when a video has them, speed from 1x to 2x, repeat one or all, shuffle, audio only with the poster, and a 15 to 60 minute sleep timer.
Lists that feel native
Swipe a video to save it, long-press to add it to a playlist or share it, drag to reorder a list.
Liquid Glass, light or dark
Built on iOS 26's Liquid Glass. Light, dark or system, with six accents. Light mode is designed, not inverted: every accent has its own value per scheme.
Tells you what is wrong
Diagnostics runs a self-test that says whether video and search are working today. If the network drops, the glasses keep retrying every few seconds. If the phone app is out of date, it says so.
Optional account
Sign in with Apple or email to keep playlists, saved videos, channels, recents, searches, settings and your pairing on a new phone. Signing out keeps everything on the phone.
GlassTube is coming soon.
GlassTube is in development and not on the App Store yet. Email us and we will tell you when it is ready for your glasses.
