   Tube PiP▲25

   Hi HN, I built an iOS app called Tube PiP because I was frustrated with the official YouTube app locking useful features behind Premium. Tube PiP gives you: - Picture-in-Picture (PiP) playback - Background / lock screen playback - Sleep timer - No ads - Hide Shorts (for sanity) All the stuff you normally have to pay for—free. App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tube-pip-pip-for-youtube/id647... I’d love to hear what you think. Feedback, bug reports, feature requests—bring it on!
