The independent project
A familiar foundation.
Its own direction.
WizeStream builds on NewPipe’s libre software foundation while developing its own playback, local library, interface and service-support work.
Independent, with upstream credit
WizeStream is maintained as an independent NewPipe-based Android application by WizDom13. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the official NewPipe project, TeamNewPipe or NewPipe e.V.
Material 3-oriented design is one part of its purpose. The app also develops local profiles, device synchronization, offline organization, learning tools, live media and coordinated player/extractor changes.
An integrated codebase
The bundled extractor source is derived from NewPipeExtractor and later incorporated PipePipeExtractor and WizeStream-specific changes. It is maintained inside the app repository, rather than being presented as an unchanged upstream binary dependency.
WizeStream accepts responsibility for its integrated changes. Problems seen in WizeStream should be reported to WizeStream first; an upstream comparison can help investigate a shared issue without moving the report away from this project.
Why the name changed
The app was previously called NewPipe Material. The WizeStream name distinguishes this independently maintained application from official NewPipe. The historical Android package identity remains unchanged so users can continue receiving compatible signed updates without resetting their local data.
Open-source licensing
WizeStream preserves the GPLv3 license, upstream attribution and third-party notices. The repository and in-app license section are the references for source and component licensing.

About this website
This multipage handbook uses static pages and locally served assets, with a separate optional PHP community review service. Search and comparison controls operate in your browser. There is no analytics integration or third-party review widget. The linked review form is hosted with the project website.
Product screenshots are drawn from the project repository; themes, layout and available actions can vary with the app build. The comparison names its checked competitor releases and marks unknown capabilities rather than assuming they are absent.
