Yattee

Yattee is a free and open-source unofficial YouTube client for iOS, macOS and tvOS.[1] On iOS and tvOS, it is available on the App Store,[2] from the official GitHub repository (although this option requires sideloading) and on TestFlight.[2] The macOS version is available from the official repository and in Homebrew.[2] It is intended to be used as a "privacy-respecting" alternative to the official YouTube app.

Technology

Yattee does not use the official YouTube API, but instead utilises the Invidious Developer API and the Piped JSON API.[1] The app currently uses both the built-in AVPlayer and mpv as backends.[4] Yattee also includes SponsorBlock, a popular free and open-source technology that automatically skips the sponsored segments of videos.[1] Version 1.4 implemented Return YouTube Dislike, an open-source extension that re-adds the dislike counter to the app.[5]
