About

YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. They store a lot of your personal data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

LibreTube aims at improving the users' privacy by being independent from Google and bypassing their data collection as much as possible. The app only sends the minimum amount of data necessary to ensure that the app works, e.g. it only loads the YouTube-video you want to play without tracking your behavior when using the app.

If you have questions or need help, please make sure to read the FAQ before asking for help at the community channels. The Matrix room is considered as the main communication channel, all other forums or social media accounts are maintained by volunteers from the community but not the developer(s).

Differences to NewPipe

LibreTube's main difference to NewPipe is that it has a much stronger focus on user experience. LibreTube uses the modern Material 3 Expressive design, supports external APIs such as SponsorBlock, ReturnYouTubeDislike, or DeArrow, and allows you to synchronize your user data across devices, e.g. via Piped.

While LibreTube only supports content from YouTube, NewPipe also allows the use of other platforms like SoundCloud, PeerTube, Bandcamp and media.ccc.de.

Both, LibreTube and NewPipe, are great clients for watching YouTube videos. There's no general answer about which one is better, just try them both and see which one fits you best.

Our Privacy Policy gives detailed information on which data the app stores in order to work, how it is being used, and how the project protects your personal information.
