3rd Party Ports

Some awesome people have made ports of SponsorBlock to different platforms.

These are not made or reviewed by me. Please send issues/feature requests to the developer of the port. Use at your own risk.

Android:

NewPipe x SponsorBlock (Fork of NewPipe) by @polymorphicshade

NewPipe is a third-party Android App for YouTube. This fork supports skipping all categories, channel whitelisting and colour on the seekbar. This only supports auto skip, not manual skip.

Vanced (Closed-Source Mod for Official YouTube App) ^{(Source of the SponsorBlock parts)} by @JakubekWeg

^{(Not available on the Google Play Store)}

Support can be enabled in the settings. Close to feature parity with the extension. This is a closed-source app not made by me, so you might not want to sign into a Google account.

MPV is a command line video player. This is a more simple SponsorBlock plugin. There are no other functions in this other than the skipping segments.
