## Installation
### Requirements
Application is built using latest APIs, that's why for now **only recent** software versions: iOS/tvOS 15 or macOS Monterey are supported.

### How to install?
#### [AltStore](https://altstore.io/)
You can sideload IPA files that you can download from Releases page.
Alternatively, if you have to access to the beta AltStore version (v1.5), you can add the following repository in `Browse > Sources` screen: `https://alt.yattee.stream`

#### Manual installation
Download sources and compile them on a Mac using Xcode, install to your devices. Please note that if you are not registered in Apple Developer Program then the applications will require reinstalling every 7 days.

## Integrations
### Safari
macOS and iOS apps include Safari extension which will redirect opened YouTube tabs to the app.
### Firefox
You can use [Privacy Redirect](https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect) extension to make the videos open in the app. In extension settings put the following URL as Invidious instance: `https://r.yatte.stream`

### macOS
With [Finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) you can configure your systems so the video links across the entire system will get opened in the app. Example configuration:
```js
{
  match: [
    finicky.matchDomains(/(.*\.)?youtube.com/),
    finicky.matchDomains(/(.*\.)?youtu.be/)
  ],
  browser: "/Applications/Yattee.app"
}
```
