LiteTube: Lightweight YouTube App

Streamlined YouTube client app with fewer ads and distractions, allowing for seamless search, browsing, and playback of YouTube content

What is LiteTube?

LiteTube is a free, open-source YouTube client application designed to provide a lightweight and distraction-free way to watch YouTube videos. It was created as an alternative to the official YouTube app and website which have become increasingly cluttered with ads, recommendations, and extra features that some users find overwhelming or unnecessary.

The main goal of LiteTube is simply to allow you to search for and watch YouTube videos without all the extra bells and whistles. It has a clean, minimalist interface that foregoes recommendations, trending videos, comments, and other sections in favor of just a search bar and a video player. This makes it easy to quickly look up and play videos without getting distracted or caught up in YouTube's extra suggestions.

Some of the key features of LiteTube include:

• Ad-free video watching. LiteTube blocks most YouTube ads from displaying in the app.
• Floating video player. You can minimize the video into a small floating window to continue browsing and searching while still watching.
• Background audio play. Audio from YouTube videos will keep playing even if you switch apps or lock your phone.
• Subscription management. You can manage your YouTube subscriptions and see the latest videos from channels you follow.
• Video downloads. Videos can be downloaded to watch offline when no internet connection is available.

If you find the main YouTube app too cluttered but still want easy access to YouTube videos, LiteTube may be a good lightweight alternative worth trying. With its focus on simplicity rather than extra features, it aims to provide a distraction-free viewing experience.
