Getting started

From the App Store to your first video or song

Save a website once, then open it from your library or a Home Screen widget.

  1. Install anyPWA

    Get it from the App Store. Open it and allow the ad-blocking filters to download.

  2. Choose your website

    Tap +, then select YouTube, YouTube Music or Spotify from Examples. Leave Block ads on and tap Save.

  3. Start watching or listening

    Open your saved website and choose something to play. Sign in on the website to access your own library and playlists. Audio can keep playing when you switch apps or lock your screen.

An App Store option for everyday watching and listening

If you use AltStore, SideStore or Sideloadly for YouTube or Spotify, you can also access these services through their websites in anyPWA. Install anyPWA from the App Store, save a website and start playing. You do not need a developer account, a signing certificate or a computer to set it up.

anyPWA opens any website in its own fullscreen view. YouTube, YouTube Music and Spotify have dedicated ad-blocking and playback support, along with setup guides and demos so you can see how they work.

Make it yours with Media Controls

The optional Media Controls one-time purchase adds playback preferences for YouTube and YouTube Music. Choose audio-only playback for listening, set a preferred video quality, or use different settings on Wi-Fi and cellular. You can also switch to audio only when the app is in the background.

For YouTube, Media Controls also includes Hide Shorts to hide Shorts from feeds and navigation. Settings are saved separately for each website.
