Unofficial Kayo Desktop App
Disclaimer: This is in no way affiliated with Kayo, I am using this to watch sport without a browser.
This app allows you to watch Kayo on the Desktop without a browser. Currently only live events are supported, but much more can easily be added.
Download
Download this app from the 'Releases' tab in GitHub (or you can compile it yourself)
Development
To get started developing:
- Ensure TypeScript is up to date:
npm install -g typescript@latest - Clone Repo
npm installnpm start
Roadmap - v1.0 Release
- UI Improvements (it looks pretty questionable atm)
- Add Kayo features to app
- Enhance 'desktop' abilities (caching credentials, saving last sport watched, menu options)
- Video Controls
- 'From live' or 'From Start' options
License + Thanks
This app was made possible by the Kayo Kodi Plugin by Matt Huisman.

All the work to figure out Kayo's API and how the service works was done by him, and the requests I'm making in this app are based on this repo.
FAQ
Q: 'Without a browser', who are you kidding? This is an electron app, you can't fool me!
A: That's not technically a question, but yeah you're right I pulled this together pretty quickly and it gets the job done. It's nice to be able to seperate Kayo from other browser tabs.
Q: Why doesn't this support [feature X]?
A: It doesn't yet, but development is active, and you can help too! Open an Issue or Create a Pull Request and I'll work on it soon.
