Strymas is a native Sailfish OS YouTube client born from a simple wish: I just wanted a YouTube streamer that works.
Features:
- Chronological feed of your subscribed channels — videos and Shorts strips, newest first
- Global mini-player: keeps playing while you browse, docks into a corner, fullscreen with gestures (brightness/volume), double-tap zoom
- Background playback with optional audio-only mode (saves battery and data)
- MPRIS: control from Bluetooth headphones and the system media menu
- Watch history with resume, Continue watching row, Watch later list
- Channel pages with sections (Home / Videos / Shorts / Live / Playlists) and subscribe button
- Search, comments reading, sleep timer, notifications about new uploads
- Trending by region (needs a free YouTube Data API key — instructions in Settings)
- Optional Google sign-in (OAuth device flow) for subscription import, likes and your playlists
Requirements:
- yt-dlp must be installed: pkcon install python3-pip, then pip3 install --user yt-dlp
- Everything else is pulled in as RPM dependencies
Honest notes:
- Im not programmer. Built with AI assistance. Tested ONLY on Sony Xperia 10 III / Sailfish OS 5.1.
- It fully covers my own needs. If you have ideas or want to take the project further — go ahead, fork away.
- No tracking, no ads, no telemetry. Your keys and history stay on your device.

Not bad, at least it works in opposite to microtube. Playback speed settings are missing and after playback interrupt it starts from the beggining.
