WizeStream

Material 3-focused independent fork of NewPipe for Android, with dynamic themes, visual polish, signed releases, and preserved NewPipe behavior.

WizeStream keeps the lightweight, privacy-friendly NewPipe experience while developing its own interface, playback, discovery, synchronization, and service-support features. Material 3 Expressive design remains an important project goal, but it is one part of a broader independent client rather than the project's only purpose.

Project highlights:

• Material 3-inspired design with Material You colors, manual color presets, and customizable navigation
• Account-free playback, subscriptions, feeds, playlists, downloads, and history across supported services
• Dedicated YouTube Music and YouTube Shorts destinations, advanced search filters, and channel sorting
• Main, background, and popup playback with advanced gestures, a sleep timer, multi-audio selection, and per-channel playback profiles
• SponsorBlock, YouTube dislike counts, and clear handling for members-only videos
• Local blocking for videos, channels, and title or uploader keywords, plus contextual search inside channel tabs and playlists
• Bulk playlist and queue downloads with embedded media metadata
• Optional DeArrow titles and thumbnails, and open TV casting to FCast and Chromecast-compatible receivers on Android 8 and newer
• Optional Learning Mode with timestamped notes, playlist progress, study statistics, and a dashboard
• Secure peer-to-peer synchronization between trusted WizeStream devices, manually or automatically over Wi-Fi or Ethernet
• Local search across subscriptions, playlists, feeds, history, and Downloads
• Import/export compatibility with supported NewPipe backup data and a verified in-app update flow

Sensitive areas such as playback, downloads, background playback, popup playback, and extractor logic are changed only through focused and tested work.
