Piped

Matrix IPFS Build GitHub Repo stars GitHub last commit

An alternative YouTube frontend which is efficient by design.

The Problem

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

By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content freely without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

Features:

  • No Ads
  • No Tracking
  • Infinite Scrolling
  • Integration with SponsorBlock
  • Integration with LBRY
  • 4K support
  • No connections to Google's servers
  • Playing just audio
  • Comments
  • Playlist support
  • Captions support
  • Search Suggestions
  • Livestreams support with a quality selector
  • PWA support
  • Preferences saved locally
  • Multi-region loadbalancing
  • Performant by design, designed to handle 1000s of users concurrently

WIP

  • Login
  • Feeds
  • 8K support
  • Improving UI
