OiTube

OiTube is a YouTube client built for users who want more control over how they consume video content. Access YouTube's full catalog with a streamlined interface that brings key features the official app lacks.

The standout feature is background playback. Start any video, then minimize it to a floating window so you can browse, message, or use other apps while watching. Need just the audio? Switch to audio-only mode and turn off your screen entirely—perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or educational content without draining your battery. You stay in control of when the screen sleeps.

Video ads can clutter your viewing experience. This app lets you block advertisements across videos, giving you cleaner playback from the moment you launch it. Toggle ad blocking on or off anytime depending on your preference.

The interface is straightforward and responsive, designed around the activities you actually do on YouTube. Search, subscribe, create playlists, and manage your watch history just as you would in the official app—but with the freedom to multitask without interruption.

OiTube works on Android 5.0 and above, making it accessible across a wide range of devices. Whether you're commuting, exercising, cooking, or working at your desk, you can enjoy video content without being locked into full-screen viewing or constant audio playback. The app respects your time and attention by letting you decide when and how to engage with the content.

This is the alternative for anyone frustrated by YouTube's official limitations. OiTube delivers the features that should have been there from the start.
