About Flow
Flow is an open-source client for YouTube and YouTube Music on Android. It provides video playback with resolution switching, background playback, picture-in-picture, downloads, and casting, plus a music player with queue management and synchronized lyrics. It also keeps local watch history, playlists, Shorts bookmarks, and cached subscription feeds. It includes FlowNeuro, a recommendation engine described as running on-device using local watch, skip, like, dislike, search, and watch-time signals without an account or telemetry. The repository describes data as stored locally with import, export, and delete options, while the app retrieves content from YouTube and YouTube Music and lists integrations for SponsorBlock, DeArrow, and Return YouTube Dislike. Releases are distributed as APK files with separate builds for different device types.
