Materialious can be deployed in a lot of ways.

It can be used purely as a Invidious frontend.

You can use it as a web server with its own YouTube engine and account system.

Or you can use it as a Desktop & Mobile app with or without Invidious.

Or you can even go into the advanced settings and choose when you want to use Invidious APIs or Materialious
