Similar in feature set on Desktop, but we'll also be optionally adding support for Materialious account system in future what will provide things like settings, watch history, watch progress & subscription syncing between devices.

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
