LibreTube - uses Piped as video source by default. Subscriptions and playlists can be created, all without actually interacting with YouTube.

Clipious - uses Invidious as the video source. Also allows for subscribing and accounts. Lesser known client

NewPipe - Gets the source directly from YT. Allows for subscribing and creating playlists

Additionally, there's also ReVanced that lets you patch the regular YT app to include useful features.

Newpipe has to be the choice for android. Also, Tubular is a pretty neat fork that adds sponsorblock and return youtube dislike

Thank you so much for this. I have been using NewPipe sponsorblock and it's been discontinued and haven't been able to find anything else.

Tubular is actually the successor to NewPipe x SponsorBlock. It's made by the same developer.

Ah, makes sense why it's a carbon copy of it. Glad they're back at it. I'm curious to know why change to a new app.
