Great YT replacement for Android and PC with multi-source and polycentric independent comments, likes, and notifications.

This must be the first open source video client where I can sync with my devices. Anything else works great!

Being able to combine my feeds off several multimedia platforms is extremely convenient. If you don't want to log in to those services you can simply build a new subscription list including your favorite influencers from any of those platforms.

Currently, there is no true alternative to GrayJay though I hope there will be in the future. Competition is always helpful

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

" you were supposed to be the chosen one! "

This app was supposed to bring a change to the online video platform world and freedom of speech but they've been found out to use AI to filter out "hate speech". So sad! :(

Replying to @professionalreviews

They don't filter out anything. Use your source settings to toggle if you want the age restricted materials or not. It has to interact with media platforms, meaning it has to tell the media platforms which of their own toggles to have set for visibility.

A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)

Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device. Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%) I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time). FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software

GrapheneOS Starterpack

A list of apps I use on GrapheneOS, but most also make sense on other operating systems. Install "F-Droid Basic" and Obtainium, add a few repos to F-Droid by searching for "F-Droid known repositories"

Install from the command line

  • brew install --cask grayjay
  • flatpak install flathub app.grayjay.Grayjay

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.
