An open-source frontend that removes YouTube ads, tracking, and unnecessary resource loading. It processes data independently without using the official API, enabling lightweight and fast video playback.

Manage subscribed channels and receive notifications without a Google account. On mobile, it supports background audio playback and Reddit comment integration, and works without executing JavaScript.

It is interoperable with other open-source clients like NewPipe and FreeTube for subscription lists and watch history. It provides an API for developers, and when integrated with the Privacy Redirect extension, it automatically replaces existing links.
