Grayjay

Grayjay is a video app for Android and desktop that follows creators across platforms such as YouTube and PeerTube in one feed, using a plugin for each source. Subscriptions and history are kept on your device. It is source-available under the FUTO Source First License; an optional paid license exists, and the app can be used without paying.
