Compatible with PeerTube. Unfortunately there is no login support but you can search, watch and subscribe to videos in the same feed with youtube and whatever else.

    I’ve tried pretty hard to make the switch to grayjay but there’s always some snag for me. Sometimes grayjay related, other times service related. I hope the project continues to grow. for the moment I’ll be sticking with newpipe and freetube.

    the other futo projects are pretty neat, too. the android keyboard works really well.

      I’m very happy with the mobile version. The desktop is still in Alpha though.

        I eco this, I like the app.

        I can stream not only YT but also PeerTube videos from content creators that I follow. For me this is the big appeal that GrayJay provides and is pretty much underrated. One can have a centralized video platform with GrayJay.

        Thank you for the recommendation, I just switched everything to FUTO. I’m hoping it well grow to be as accurate as SwiftKey used to be years back…

          For my main keyboard I use heliboard which I found more similar to SwiftKey. But FUTO has a local voice input which can be coupled to it and is really handy for typing long messages. The main FUTO keyboard supposedly isnt bad either.

      Yeah personally I much prefer Freetube’s UI over Grayjay (on desktop at least). For example, the subscription feed has an annoyingly huge list of subscribed channels that takes up like 25% of the screen real-estate, and you can’t hide it. It’s also pointless because there’s another list of your subscriptions on the left side of the screen. It also can’t be launched automatically when opening a YT link with the LibRedirect firefox extension, whereas Freetube can.

      But besides design issues like that, Grayjay is much more reliable than Freetube when it comes to bypassing Youtube’s bot protections.
