What is Grayjay?

Grayjay is a cutting-edge app that serves as a video player and source aggregator. It allows you to stream and organize videos from various sources, providing a unified platform for your entertainment needs.

It's mostly used as a YouTube frontend^. However, it is now launching as a desktop app for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Honestly the mobile app doesn't work for such long periods of time that I've all but given up and gone back to YouTube.

If anyone knows an app to replace YouTube that is actually reliable then let me know! I'm in the market.

The other most used frontends are Newpipe(and it's forks) aswell as Revanced.

I'm on Newpipe, it only rarely stopped working like this.

Would have preferred android TV app

Much smaller target audience I believe. Also SmartTube exists.

Yeah but.....what happens when dev get tired of doing updates and combating Google?

I use smart tube right now. But every time google purposely breaks it, I hold my breath wondering if "this is it when they give up."

We sorely need a Truely FOSS/Libre Alternative to GrayJay (Preferably under an AGPL Licence) So to get the ball rolling, What does GrayJay have that FOSS alternatives like let's say NewPipe doesn't ??

Hopefully there's light mode

Does it have tabs? if not I can't see myself caring.

It doesn't look like it does. It has multiple stackable windows, though.
