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.

This project is aimed at improving the users' privacy by being independent from Google and bypassing their data collection.

Therefore, the app is using the

Piped API

, which uses proxies to circumvent Google's data collection and includes some other additional features.

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

With LibreTube, you have the choice to either send all requests directly to YouTube or proxy them via Piped for better privacy. Piped acts as a middleman server between you and YouTube in this case, which prevents YouTube from accessing personal information such as your IP address. Additionally, using Piped allows you to sync your subscriptions between LibreTube and Piped, which can be used on desktop too.

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

Both are great clients for watching YouTube videos. It depends on the individual's use case which one fits their needs better.
