🎉 Kids Content Now Plays!

The most requested feature is finally here. Videos that previously refused to play — including kids content — now work, thanks to a new Mobile Web playback source. The app picks the fastest source automatically and silently falls back when a video needs the new path, so there's nothing to configure. Just open the video.

New Features

  • Smarter search — live suggestions as you type, plus your recent searches shown under the search bar (swipe a row to delete it)
  • Auto playback source — the app now picks the fastest source and silently falls back to an alternate one if a video fails to start; no more manual source switching
  • Auto theme — follows the system dark mode on iOS 13+, and switches by your custom schedule on iOS 12
  • Cleaner fullscreen — the status bar now hides in fullscreen playback (a toggle in Settings keeps it visible if you prefer)

Bug Fixes

  • Videos played by autoplay (e.g. while you sleep) now correctly appear in your YouTube watch history
  • Commenter avatars now load — and anyone without one gets a colored monogram instead of an empty circle

ℹ️ The Mobile Web source uses a small helper service for one preparation step older devices can't do on-device — see the README for what it does (and doesn't) see. Self-hosting sources coming soon.
