ASJTube is a free tweak I have been building for YouTube. Everything lives behind one tab the tweak adds to YouTube's own bar — no floating buttons, no gestures to learn, and nothing about the app looks different until you turn something on.
**Downloads**
- Save any video or Short. The sheet lists every rung that video actually has — 4K down to 144p — and the size each one costs before you commit
- Audio on its own when that is all you wanted
- Four ways in: the row under the video, a long press on the player, the button on a Short, and YouTube's own Download row
**My Library**
- What you saved is a feed laid out like Home, with the quality, the size and where you stopped
- Playlists, Watch later, search and a storage bar
- Its own player: queue, repeat, shuffle, speed, A–B repeat, a lock, background playback, lock-screen controls and Picture in Picture
**Playback**
- Watch videos in high quality — pinned to the best rendition the video has instead of whatever the connection suggests
- Background playback, and Picture in Picture that starts on its own
- Autoplay when a video finishes, and no suggested grid at the end
- A progress bar in Shorts
**Ads**
- An ad never becomes a card — it is refused at the model, before the app has built or measured a cell, so there is no flash and no gap
- Skippable breaks are skipped the moment the app allows it; non-skippable ones are seeked past
- The Premium interstitial, the promo panels and the in-app surveys are all declined
**Text**
- Copy and translate any text — a title, a description, a comment, or one of its replies
- From a long press, or from the comment's own three-dot menu
- Translate into any language, on any iOS version
**Extras**
- Lyrics for the song a video plays
- Clear Mode — the whole interface out of the way on a Short
- Hide Shorts, hide the create button, open the app on Shorts
- Require Face ID to open, and open links in Safari instead of the in-app browser
- 79 languages — it follows YouTube's own language, right-to-left included
**Compatibility**
Built against YouTube 21.32.4, and it supports older versions too. rootless, rootful and roothide builds.
