LibreTube - uses Piped as video source by default. Subscriptions and playlists can be created, all without actually interacting with YouTube.

Clipious - uses Invidious as the video source. Also allows for subscribing and accounts. Lesser known client

NewPipe - Gets the source directly from YT. Allows for subscribing and creating playlists

Additionally, there’s also ReVanced that lets you patch the regular YT app to include useful features.

    A textfile with channel urls + a yt-dlp script + a self hosted jellyfin servers.

    Saves on bandwidth too, you only download once and can keep your favorites saved offline as long as you have storage space.

    I do run my own invidious client too for video searches and “filler” channels you watch selectively.

      Oooh… I’d love a YouTube integration with jellyfin.

      Tell me more.

      I’d love the features of a podcast app but for YouTube creators I follow.
