About
Flow is a privacy-first, open-source media ecosystem. It provides the personalized discovery of a mainstream platform without the invasive data tracking.
The Problem
Historically, privacy-focused YouTube clients required a frustrating trade-off: to stop the tracking, you had to give up the algorithm. Users were left with static subscription feeds and manual searches, missing out on organic content discovery.

The Solution
Flow bridges this gap. Powered by a custom, on-device recommendation engine called FlowNeuro, the app learns your interests, time-of-day habits, and viewing patterns entirely offline. It delivers a rich, dynamic "For You" feed without ever sending a single byte of behavioral data to a remote server.

Data Sovereignty
- No Accounts: Works instantly out of the box. No logins or cloud connections required.
- 100% Local Processing: Every recommendation, vector calculation, and content filter runs directly on your device's processor.
- Complete Control: Your interest profile and watch history are stored locally. You can export, back up, or wipe your algorithm at any time.
Core Features
- Intelligent Home Feed: A highly tunable feed that balances your subscriptions with smart discovery, actively preventing toxic echo chambers and repetitive content.
- Isolated Music Mode: A dedicated YouTube Music interface. Flow strictly separates your music algorithms from your video algorithms so your listening habits never pollute your video feed.
- Playback: Native background audio, Picture-in-Picture, SponsorBlock integration, and advanced pitch/tempo controls.
- The Ecosystem: Currently available as a native Android client (built with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose), with a Rust/Tauri desktop companion and local peer-to-peer device sync currently in active development.
Why Support Flow?
Maintaining an application that interfaces with constantly shifting, undocumented APIs is a relentless, full-time battle. Financial support allows me to dedicate the hours necessary to fix breaking API changes, refine the FlowNeuro math models, and build out the desktop and cross-device ecosystem. Your backing ensures that Flow remains free, independent, and open-source forever.
