About NewPipe

NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google Services installed. Also, you don't need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, and it's FLOSS.

Privacy and F-Droid

F-Droid builds NewPipe from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
