NewPipe has been created to get the original YouTube, SoundCloud, PeerTube, Band Camp, and more on your Android smartphone without annoying ads and questionable permissions.

NewPipe works by fetching the required data from the official API (e.g. PeerTube) of your service. If the official API is restricted (e.g. YouTube) for our purposes or is proprietary, the app parses the website or uses an internal API instead. This means you don't need an account on any service to use NewPipe.

Also, since they are free and Open Source software, neither the app nor the Extractor uses proprietary libraries or frameworks, such as Google Play Services. This means you can use NewPipe on devices or custom ROMs that do not have Google apps installed.

NewPipe Features:
