About

Materialious is a modern material design frontend for YouTube and Invidious that focuses on a clean, privacy-friendly experience. It keeps videos playing with local fallback when Invidious fails.

Features:

  • Optional account system with end-to-end encrypted subscriptions, synced history and watch progress, plus proof-of-work captcha
  • Invidious is optional - enjoy Materialious without an instance via the YouTube backend, with local video fallback if Invidious fails to load videos
  • Invidious companion support and subscription import/export
  • Sync watch progress between Invidious sessions
  • SponsorBlock, Return YouTube Dislikes and DeArrow built-in
  • Live streams, DASH, chapters, mini player and playlists
  • No ads and no tracking
  • Light, dark and custom colour themes
  • Android TV and PWA support with YouTube path redirects
  • Support for disabling certificate validation for homelab users
