BiliPai is an open-source Android client redefining the Bilibili experience with a native, pure, and extensible approach. It targets users seeking an ad-free, privacy-focused, and highly customizable alternative, offering advanced features and a clean interface.

How It Works

Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose using MVVM + Clean Architecture, BiliPai's core innovation is its robust plugin system supporting JSON rules for content filtering and AI-driven features like video summarization. A unique, locally-processed "Today Watch Policy" recommendation engine personalizes content based on user behavior, offering customizable modes and de-duplication.
