## What it is
Clipious is an Android client for Invidious, the privacy-focused YouTube front end. It supports subscriptions, playlists, background and audio playback, SponsorBlock/DeArrow, downloads, and an Android TV interface.

## Use cases
- watch youtube privately on android without google tracking
- play youtube videos in the background on my phone
- use youtube with sponsorblock and dearrow on android
- manage youtube subscriptions and playlists via my invidious server
- download youtube videos or audio on android
- use a youtube client on android tv
- see youtube dislikes on android

## When to choose
- you already run or use an Invidious instance and want a native Android/TV client
- you want background playback, downloads, and SponsorBlock in one FOSS app
- you prefer F-Droid/Obtainium-distributed apps over Google Play

## When to avoid
- you don't have access to any Invidious server and don't want to set one up
- you need official YouTube account features like comments posting or live chat interaction
- you need an iOS or desktop client
