Tracking-driven video platforms like YouTube and Twitch heavily rely on monitoring user behavior to fuel their algorithms and maximize ad revenue, with user privacy nowhere on their agenda.

[PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) edges over such services with its decentralized, open source nature, where **videos are hosted across a federated network of independent servers**, out of the control of Big Tech.

They recently crossed a major milestone with the [first stable release](https://joinpeertube.org/news/app-v1?ref=itsfoss.com) of their mobile app, introducing new features like **posting comments**, **managing channel subscriptions**, **organizing playlists**, and **logging into PeerTube accounts**.

Continuing on this path, they have launched [a crowdfunding campaign](https://joinpeertube.org/news/crowdfunding-app-launch?ref=itsfoss.com) to accelerate development and add more features to the PeerTube mobile app.

## PeerTube Needs Your Help!

To continue improving what they’ve already built, **PeerTube is asking people to donate and help them reach certain funding goals**. These goals focus not only on adding new features to the mobile app but also on supporting the overall project and the non-profit organization, [Framasoft](https://framasoft.org/?ref=itsfoss.com), that runs it.

If all goes well, the community will have played a crucial role in significantly improving the mobile app while helping PeerTube grow and stay true to its mission of offering a decentralized, privacy-friendly video platform.

The four donation goals are the following:

- **Goal #1 (€15,000):** Introduce background playback, TV casting, notifications, and video quality controls.
- **Goal #2 (€35,000):** Add easy channel management, advanced video editing tools, detailed content stats, and support for uploading videos.
- **Goal #3 (€55,000):** Enable livestreaming from the mobile app, with access to the device’s camera, microphone, and network capabilities.
- **Goal #4 (€75,000):** Support Framasoft’s wider mission, helping sustain PeerTube and other free, open source software they develop.

You can send contributions to the project using the official [donation page](https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/?ref=itsfoss.com).

While I am yet to test it, the screenshots shared by the PeerTube team look promising. The Android app for PeerTube can be found on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.framasoft.peertube/?ref=itsfoss.com) and the [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.framasoft.peertube&ref=itsfoss.com). For those who dwell in Apple's walled garden, there's an [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/peertube/id6737834858?ref=itsfoss.com) listing for iOS devices.
