Grayjay is a mobile application designed as a video player and source aggregator, enabling users to stream and organize videos from multiple platforms within a single interface. Rather than hosting or distributing content itself, Grayjay facilitates access to various streaming services, allowing individuals to follow creators directly and maintain control over their viewing experience. The app emphasizes user ownership, privacy, and flexibility, letting users determine what content to watch and how to interact with it.
The platform supports the addition and configuration of different sources through plugins, so users can build a personalized environment featuring only the content and creators they prefer. Subscriptions and playlists from supported platforms can be imported, and users may log into their existing platform accounts to access account-specific features and recommendations. Grayjay provides a universal feed, consolidating all subscriptions and content into one place, and supports live streaming with live chat functionality. Custom playlists can be created and videos organized according to user preferences, while background play and Picture-in-Picture modes are available for flexible viewing. Offline functionality is emphasized, with locally stored watch history, offline playlists, and the ability to download videos or entire playlists for offline playback.
Casting features include support for FCast, Airplay, and Chromecast, allowing content to be viewed on larger screens. The app also offers privacy-focused options, such as staying completely offline and keeping all user data on the device unless configured otherwise. Users can manage visible tabs, customize their feed, and retain ownership of their data. Grayjay integrates with Harbor, a service for preserving and linking online identity across apps, and supports the Polycentric protocol, a distributed, community-centered social network.
Grayjay is currently available for Android, with downloads offered for multiple architectures and distribution via FDroid. A desktop version is in development and undergoing internal testing. The app operates on a one-time license purchase model, with identical functionality available to both paying and non-paying users; it does not require a subscription. The source code is accessible via a Gitlab repository.
