Yattee is a privacy-oriented native video player app for iOS, tvOS, and macOS built with SwiftUI. It plays YouTube content through privacy-respecting frontends like Invidious and Piped, with features like Picture in Picture, background audio, 4K playback, and SponsorBlock integration.

Use cases

  • watch YouTube videos without tracking on iPhone or Mac
  • play videos through Invidious or Piped instances
  • skip sponsor segments automatically with SponsorBlock
  • listen to YouTube audio in the background on iOS
  • watch videos in 4K with Picture in Picture on Apple TV
  • queue and keep history of videos privately

When to choose

  • you want a native Apple-platform video player that avoids YouTube tracking
  • you use Invidious or Piped and want a polished client
  • you need background audio, PiP, and SponsorBlock in one app

When to avoid

  • you need a video player on Android, Windows, or Linux
  • you want direct YouTube API access rather than third-party frontends
  • you need a cross-platform or web-based player
