Windows builds are unsigned for now: SmartScreen may flag them. Click "More info → Run anyway". Android APK requires enabling installs from unknown sources for the file you downloaded.

Installing on Android? Read this first

Patotube is not on the Play Store, so Android shows its usual warnings for apps installed from the web. They are generic, not a sign of a virus. Swipe through the 4 steps:

  1. 1/4 Tap Android above. If your browser says the file "may be harmful", tap "Download anyway".
  2. 2/4 Open Patotube.apk. Android asks to allow your browser to install apps: tap "Settings", turn on "Allow from this source", then go back.
  3. 3/4 If Play Protect shows a warning (unverified or older app), tap "More details" then "Install anyway".
  4. 4/4 Already have Patotube? The new version installs over the old one and keeps your settings.

What the app does not do

  • No ads, no account, no trackers.
  • No access to your contacts, location, microphone or camera.
  • Only Internet, storage (your downloads) and notifications (playback controls).

Personal use only

Patotube is a tool: you are responsible for what you download. Only fetch content you own, that is in the public domain, or that the rightsholder has authorised you to keep. Respect each platform’s terms of service. The author accepts no liability for any use of the app.

Always free. No ads, no premium, no telemetry, and not for resale: free to use, not to copy or sell.
