About BetterYT
YouTube's algorithm decides what you watch. BetterYT puts you back in control.
Create custom category feeds that live right on YouTube's homepage. Add channels and videos you love, and BetterYT builds a personalized feed — surfaced exactly where you'd expect it, in YouTube's own filter bar.
What you can do:
— Organize content into categories like "Machine Learning", "Music Production", or anything you like
— Add channels or individual videos as seeds; BetterYT fetches recent uploads automatically via RSS
— Optionally enable AI reranking (powered by GPT-4o mini) to score and filter recommendations by relevance
— One-click "Add to Feed" buttons injected on video pages, channel pages, and homepage thumbnails
— Smart daily caching keeps things fast without burning through your API quota
What you need: A free YouTube Data API v3 key. An OpenAI API key is optional, for AI reranking.
BetterYT doesn't replace YouTube — it extends it. Your curated feeds sit right alongside the native UI, so nothing feels out of place.
