WizeStream is an independent, NewPipe-based streaming client for Android. It combines a modern interface with privacy-friendly playback, useful local-first features, and support for multiple streaming platforms.

WizeStream retains NewPipe's lightweight, privacy-friendly approach. It requires no platform account, Google framework libraries, or Google Play Services.

Supported services include YouTube, YouTube Music, Bilibili, Niconico, PeerTube, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and media.ccc.de.

Core features include:

Additional WizeStream features:

WizeStream maintains its application and integrated extractor changes. Problems encountered in WizeStream, including service and extractor failures, should be reported to WizeStream first. Releases are available through GitHub and IzzyOnDroid.

Storage permissions:

On Android 6-9, WizeStream can optionally use a legacy storage backend instead of Android's Storage Access Framework. This mode is also used on some Fire TV devices because of a platform-specific SAF issue. In legacy mode, this allows the app to read existing files and save downloaded video, audio, captions, and exported backups. On Android 10 and newer, SAF is always used, and these storage permissions are not requested.

Camera permission:

WizeStream optionally uses the CAMERA permission only when the user selects Scan pairing code for local device synchronization. It lets one device scan the one-time QR code displayed by another for secure pairing. The permission is requested only when the scanner opens. WizeStream does not capture, store, or upload camera images, and camera hardware is optional.

Important project notice:

WizeStream is based on NewPipe but is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the official NewPipe project, TeamNewPipe, or NewPipe e.V.

WizeStream is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. It preserves upstream NewPipe credits, license notices, and third-party license information.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
