Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

TubeHaus is a privacy-focused YouTube client offered both as a self-hosted server (built on Invidious and Cloudflare WARP) and as native apps for Android, TV, desktop, and iOS. It adds instant cached video pages, live captioning via whisper.cpp, a calm mode, and an on-device learning Shorts feed, all without Google accounts or tracking. Its breadth of platforms and privacy engineering make it a notable alternative to YouTube's own clients.

Target audience: privacy-conscious users, self-hosters, homelab enthusiasts, and media consumers
