Neither newpipe nor libretube work for me anymore for a while now. Is there an alternative?

i forget is this app proprietary? i know a lot of their apps are

It's basically source available with rights to modify and redistribute for non-commercial purposes and without removing the ability to pay for the app.

Here is the license.

Custom license that doesn't meet the FSF's definition. Tldr restrictions on redistribution and minor restrictions on modification. It isn't on fdroid's main, but they host a fdroid compatible one with a out of date version of Grayjay

It's on fdroid so I don't think

It's not on F-Droid, they have their custom F-Droid repository but that doesn't really mean anything. Anyone can put any app in a custom F-Droid repo, it doesn't have any meaning in regard to FOSS licensing or user freedom.
