    As of the 0.6.0 update, FreeTube will use the Invidious API as a backend for its DASH player. You could perhaps think of FreeTube as Invidious as a desktop application, plus lots of other cool features.

    Good app, even if I found it quite slow. But it is based on the Invidious API, so it's is not really an alternative because Invidious is one of the depedencies. If you wan tto use it you may need to change the default instance because the main invidious instance have some issue to play videos.

    Simply feels great to use. Great for machines that can't quite run full YouTube - it's rather lightweight.

    A great alternative to invidious, since invidious was discontinued it is very buggy and crashes a lot, I often have to switch instances. Although Piped a missing a few features, it works and is stable.
