SailPipe

This app is in closed alpha and will be released on Wednesday 19 November 2025.

A Sailfish user interface to the privacy friendly NewPipe Extractor for streaming and downloading video and music.

Supports the following services:

1. YouTube;
2. SoundCloud;
3. Media.ccc.de;
4. Bandcamp.

The app supports video and audio, streaming and downloading, search, filtering, channels, viewing playlists and viewing comments.

The app doesn't authenticate to the services and so doesn't support creating comments or playlists.

For more information about the NewPipe backend see the NewPipe website.

SailPipe is an intentionally minamalist app: it aims to perform a small set of functionalities well rather than providng broad functional coverage. If you're looking for a YouTube app that provides more functionality, I recoomend Microtube.
