TypeType Android

Native Android client for TypeType.

TypeType Android is the native client for TypeType, a self-hosted video platform. The app is in beta, supports Android 6.0 and newer, and does not require Google Play Services.

TypeType Android uses the TypeType Server selected during setup for extraction, playback sessions, recommendations, synchronization, and downloads.

• Browse and search videos, channels, playlists, music, and subscriptions.
• Resume videos, manage history, favorites, Watch Later, playlists, and notifications.
• Play in the background, in Picture in Picture, or with the mini-player.
• Choose quality, codec, audio track, captions, playback speed, and image mode.
• Use chapters, SponsorBlock, comments, related videos, the queue, and the sleep timer.
• Download supported videos and import existing data.

TypeType Android is one application with two F-Droid channels:

• Stable is the recommended channel for normal use.
• Beta is for testing prerelease builds.

Both channels use the same application package and signing certificate, so they update the same installation. Add only Stable for normal use, or add both repositories to receive Beta updates. Choose a channel from the TypeType F-Droid setup page:

1. Open the TypeType F-Droid setup page on your Android device, or scan its QR code.
2. Tap Open in F-Droid, add the repository, and refresh the catalog.
3. Search for TypeType and install it.

1. Download the signed APK from the latest Release.
2. Verify it with the matching SHA-256 file if desired.
3. Open the APK and allow installation when Android asks.
4. Enter your TypeType instance address and sign in, use OIDC, or continue as a guest when supported.

Installing a newer signed Release over an existing Release keeps the application data. If Android reports an incompatible signature, remove any Debug build before installing the signed APK.
