A privacy-respecting YouTube and YouTube Music client for Android with a local recommendation engine.
Flow is a YouTube client built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3.
It includes FlowNeuro, a recommendation engine that runs entirely on your device — no accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your phone.
Most open-source YouTube clients give you playback but no way to discover new content. You either use the official app and get tracked, or you use an alternative and lose recommendations entirely.
Flow gives you both. The recommendation engine learns what you like by analyzing your watch behavior locally. It never leaves your devices. You can inspect everything it knows about you, adjust it, or wipe it at any time.

Detects when you’re getting bored of a topic and mixes in new content
Prevents your feed from collapsing into the same 2-3 topics
Surfaces related videos from your recent watches to create natural topic transitions

Stable Release
Which APK should I download?
Each release has six APKs: three device types, each in a GitHub build and a FOSS build.
Your device
GitHub build
FOSS build
Most phones and tablets (64-bit, arm64-v8a)
flow-arm64-v8a.apk
flow-foss-arm64-v8a.apk
Older 32-bit phones (armeabi-v7a)
flow-armeabi-v7a.apk
flow-foss-armeabi-v7a.apk
Any device (universal, larger download)
flow.apk
flow-foss.apk
Not sure?flow-arm64-v8a.apk works on almost every phone. flow.apk works on all of them.
GitHub build: updates itself from inside the app and supports Discord Rich Presence.
FOSS build: the same app without the built-in updater and the Discord integration. This is the build on IzzyOnDroid; update it through IzzyOnDroid or Obtainium.
checksums.txt in each release lists the SHA-256 of every APK.
Nightly Build
⚠️ Nightly builds are unstable and may contain bugs. Use at your own risk.
Flow Nightly is built from every commit to main. It installs next to the stable app as a separate app called Flow Nightly, keeps its own data, and updates itself to each new nightly from inside the app.
Requirements
Minimum Requirement: Android 8.0+
Verifying Authenticity
To ensure the authenticity of the APK and verify it has not been tampered with, you can check the signing certificate fingerprint using tools like AppVerifier.
Flow is a free and open-source project. As an independent developer without traditional banking access, keeping this project alive relies entirely on community support.
The easiest way to support Flow is Open Collective, where every contribution and expense is public. Patreon is also available for card, PayPal or Apple Pay, monthly or as a one-time tip.
