Downloads
One stable place for every FilterTube build.
Browser releases stay public on GitHub and store listings. Android phone/tablet builds can be attached to the same release stream for Google Play, GrapheneOS, and other direct-install users. iPhone and iPad are in final build and testing alignment, with Apple Developer account access currently delaying TestFlight.
Browser extension
Install FilterTube on desktop browsers today. Store listings are the easiest path; GitHub releases keep the manual ZIP builds available.
Android phone/tablet
The feature-rich Android custom viewing app is publicly available on Google Play. Install it from the listing or search Google Play for FilterTube. The direct APK is a separate, simpler build and does not include the complete custom frontend.
iPhone and iPad
The iPhone and iPad build is in final build and testing alignment. Apple Developer account access is delaying TestFlight availability and will be resolved as soon as possible.
App release state
Android is public on Google Play; Apple testing is being finalized.
Anyone can install the Android app from Google Play or search the store for FilterTube. The iPhone and iPad build is in final alignment, while Apple Developer account access is the current TestFlight delay. TV remains separate platform work.
Android
The public Google Play listing is live. Open the link above or search Google Play for FilterTube to install the app.
iOS and iPadOS
Final build and testing alignment is underway. Apple Developer account access is delaying TestFlight; Apple-channel testing will open as soon as that access is resolved.
Android distribution
Play first, direct APK next, repository listings after proof.
The public repo can host the release page and metadata even if the native app repo stays private for now. The APK itself should be signed, checksummed, and attached intentionally. Accrescent stays a watchlist item because submission is invite-only.
Complete custom viewing app
Google Play
The Google Play build is FilterTube's feature-rich, complete custom viewing experience for YouTube Main and Kids. Anyone can install it directly from the public listing or find it by searching Google Play.
Separate simpler build
Direct APK
The direct-install APK is not the complete custom frontend available through Google Play. Keep this distinction clear before downloading or sideloading it.
Good next public repository
IzzyOnDroid
Needs public source and release APKs. Fastlane metadata will make this easier when the native app source is ready to expose.
Stricter future target
F-Droid
Requires a buildable FLOSS source path and compatible dependencies. Treat this as release hardening, not a last-minute upload.
Invite-only watchlist
Accrescent
Accrescent is privacy-aligned but currently invite-only. Keep it as a watchlist target instead of promising immediate publication.
Separate future app
Android TV / Fire TV
TV should ship as its own package and store listing later. It is not part of the current phone/tablet APK.
Verify before installing.
Direct APK distribution is powerful, but it must stay boring and predictable: official link, signed file, checksum, and release notes in one place.
- Only install APKs linked from filtertube.in or the official GitHub releases page.
- Check the SHA-256 file before sideloading direct APK builds.
- Keep the Android phone/tablet package as com.filtertube.app.
- Android TV / Fire TV should use a separate future package, not this mobile APK.
- iOS should use TestFlight or App Store distribution, not a random IPA download.
Release assets live on GitHub.
filtertube.in is the clean front door. GitHub Releases remain the durable place for ZIPs, APKs, AABs, checksums, and changelog history.
