Why OpenTubeX
Five reasons to switch
A client that stays private, flexible, and yours to shape.
Private by default
OpenTubeX does not profile you. No analytics, no fingerprinting, no silent telemetry.
Feature-rich
Tabs, SponsorBlock, Auto PiP, transcripts, downloads, Ambient Mode, and more.
Built to customize
Themes, shortcuts, per-channel playback settings, layout tweaks, and deep settings let you shape the client around how you actually watch.
Open source, auditable
Inspect the code, fork it, and verify the claims for yourself.

How OpenTubeX is built
AI-assisted development
OpenTubeX is developed extensively with AI-assisted tools. This allows our small maintainer team to develop features, fix bugs, and iterate much more rapidly. The source code remains open for anyone to inspect, review, modify, or fork.
This refers to how OpenTubeX is developed. It does not mean the app sends your viewing data to an AI service. If AI-assisted development does not align with your preferences, OpenTubeX may simply not be the right project for you.
