What's New in Cloaki

1.3.0

October 1, 2026

What's new in this update: • Picture in Picture — tap the full-screen button in the player, then the Picture in Picture button (or swipe home while a video plays full screen) to keep watching in a floating window while you use other apps • New and Unwatched labels — in channels you subscribe to and playlists you've saved, videos from the past three days are marked "New", and ones you still haven't watched after that are marked "Unwatched" • Fixed a crash when tapping a new-video notification — tapping one now opens the channel it's about, or tells you if you've since unsubscribed • Background checks for new videos now work reliably while your device is locked, and Settings shows when one last actually ran • Cloaki's player buttons (back and ⋯) fade away shortly after a video starts and come back with a tap; they stay visible while VoiceOver, Switch Control or a keyboard is in use, and they're easier to hit • With your own YouTube API key and the proxy off, search now matches proxy mode — the same SafeSearch filtering, and no results that can't be played in Cloaki • Clearer search messages: when search is busy, Cloaki suggests using your own YouTube API key, and it tells you when your own key has used up its daily quota • A link in a note that leads to a different video now asks before opening it • Fixes and refinements throughout

User reviews

Easy to navigate, well designed app

I frequently watch videos for both work and personal use. This app is easy to navigate, and its tutorial is clear, thorough, and very helpful. It meets my needs perfectly by allowing me to create my own playlists, and I’m extremely satisfied with it. This is exactly the kind of app I’ve been looking for.
