About SmartTube

My development environment was infected by unknown malicious software, as a result of which a few builds may have been affected. Once the issue was detected, I secured everything with a full disk wipe, restored a clean setup, and now all builds are scanned with VirusTotal. The F-Droid version will also be verified before release.

Privacy and F-Droid

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

  • Relies on a non-free network service
