NouTube is an Android and desktop application that wraps the mobile YouTube and YouTube Music web apps in a webview, adding ad blocking, background playback, and native playback control hooks. It also offers login-free library and watch history management, video downloads, RSS feeds for channels, and custom CSS theming.
Use cases
- watch youtube without ads on android
- play youtube music in the background
- manage youtube watch history without signing in
- download youtube videos
- follow youtube channels via rss feeds
- hide youtube shorts
- use youtube and youtube music in one app
- customize youtube appearance with css
When to choose
- you want an ad-free, background-playing YouTube client on Android or desktop
- you prefer managing your library and history without a Google login
- you want YouTube and YouTube Music combined in a single app
- you want a F-Droid-installable open-source YouTube client
When to avoid
- you need a native reimplementation of YouTube rather than a webview wrapper
- you rely on official YouTube API guarantees or long-term stability against YouTube changes
- you need iOS support
- ad-blocking wrappers may violate YouTube's terms of service and could break at any time
