About Grayjay

Grayjay follows creators rather than platforms. Sources are added as plugins, and subscriptions and playlists from the supported services end up in a single universal feed. You can import existing subscriptions and playlists, and optionally log in to a platform account to use account features and that platform's recommendations.

It also supports live streams with chat and background playback. The app can be installed from Google Play or as an APK directly from the developer's site, with builds for several processor architectures.

Strengths

  • One feed for subscriptions across several video platforms
  • Imports subscriptions and playlists from supported sources
  • Live streams with chat and background playback
  • Direct APK downloads alongside Google Play

Limitations

  • Depends on plugins that can break when platforms change
  • Research only shows an Android version
