The best MultiTwitch alternative
Web tools like MultiTwitch and multistre.am let you watch several Twitch streams in one browser tab — but you still wrestle with overlapping audio, cramped chat and a browser eating your memory. MultiTube is a free native desktop app built for exactly this: every stream and its chat in one tidy, auto-arranged grid, with one-click audio switching so you only hear the channel you're watching.
