SmartTube for Android phones/tablets
SmarterTube 1.0 — ad-free YouTube for Android phones & tablets, with background play, SponsorBlock & PiP (no Premium, no root)
YouTube the way it should be on a phone:
- **No ads** — none, anywhere
- **Background play** — screen off, audio keeps going (no Premium needed)
- **SponsorBlock** — auto-skip sponsor segments
- **Picture-in-picture** + **Return YouTube Dislike**
- Voice search, subscriptions, no Google Play Services required
- No account needed to browse; sign-in optional
- It's the native phone/tablet build of SmartTube — same engine, real touch UI instead of the TV remote layout. (On an Android TV? Use SmartTube itself; SmarterTube is the phone/tablet counterpart.)
Android 4.2+. Zero app-declared permissions. Free and open source — credit to yuliskov/SmartTube for the engine.
Download (arm64-v8a for most phones, universal if unsure):
