About Watch Later Tidy for YouTube™
Watch Later Tidy for YouTube™ searches your Watch Later, your Liked videos and every playlist in your library as you type, by title, channel or the uploader's own tags, across thousands of saved videos. Send what you find to NotebookLM (now called Gemini Notebook) as sources, or bulk delete, remove likes in bulk, filter by channel or topic, group the grid by channel, sort by duration, views or upload date, reorder, sync every playlist at once, download transcripts in bulk, and escape the 5,000-video limit. The feature list below is free, with one limit for new installs on removing part of a list; an optional paid tier, TidyWL Pro, lifts that limit and adds clean-up rules, undo and a watch-list builder. Your playlist is fetched with your own YouTube session and cached on your device — the extension reports back only a random install ID and usage counts, never which videos, plus your licence key if you buy Pro. No account, no sign-in.
📋 Your YouTube Watch Later playlist is a graveyard.
Videos saved months or years ago. Channels you forgot you followed. A queue so long you stopped trusting it.
🔍 You know you saved that video. You just can't find it again.
Scrolling is the only tool you have — thousands of thumbnails, loading a screen at a time, hunting for one title you half-remember. Give up often enough and the list stops being worth keeping.
Then one day you hit the 5,000-video limit. YouTube freezes you out — nothing new until you dig through the pile and start deleting. One. Video. At. A. Time.
Your Liked videos list is worse — years long, no limit, and no way through it at all. The playlists you made yourself get exactly the tools YouTube gives Watch Later: none.
Watch Later Tidy fixes all of it.
Open a dashboard over your YouTube page, type a few letters to find any video instantly, see your whole playlist broken down by channel or topic (like a storage manager for your queue), filter, sort, reorder and bulk-delete. Minutes instead of hours.
🚀 HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the extension.
2. Go to youtube.com/playlist?list=WL (your Watch Later page) — or your Liked videos, or any playlist you own.
3. Click the Watch Later Tidy icon in Chrome's toolbar (pin it from the puzzle-piece menu if you don't see it).
4. Click "Open Dashboard".
5. Hit Sync and wait for the progress counter to finish.
6. Search by title, channel or tag to find one video, or browse by channel or topic, filter, sort, select, bulk-delete, reorder, or export.
7. Switch between Watch Later, Liked videos and any playlist in your library from the header at any time — each keeps its own cache. Tick several and you see them merged.
No account. No sign-in. No setup. No permissions beyond your current YouTube session.
✨ NEW IN v2.5.0
🆓 New installs get 1,000 free removals every 30 days when picking part of a list (see The one free limit below). Installed before v2.5.0? Nothing changes: your removals stay unlimited.
👀 The sidebar and the selection bar show what is left.
✨ NEW IN v2.4.0
🔃 Sorting by published date now uses each video's exact date from YouTube, so it is right in every language. Videos dated "2 wk ago" or "1 yr ago" no longer sink to the bottom.
🔃 Sorting by views uses YouTube's exact count when your YouTube is not in English.
🐛 Fixed: private and deleted videos are grouped as Private / Deleted in every language.
🍿 New: a link to Watch Later Tidy for Netflix, under the name at the top of the dashboard.
💎 WHAT TIDYWL PRO ADDS
Pro is an optional subscription, available from https://tidywl.com/pro/.
♾️ No limit on removing videos.
🧹 Three clean-up rules — remove dead entries, archive finished videos, and a monthly rule that holds your list at a size.
📌 Pin a video and nothing removes it, rules included.
👁️ See and deselect the exact list before any bulk delete or unlike.
↩️ Undo deletions, with 90 days of history on the device that made them — 10,000 records by default, and you can raise the limit.
🔖 Saved views — name a filter set, reapply it in one click.
🕒 Lineup — a ranked watch list from your own saves, fitted to the time you have.
💬 Feature requests and support answered first.
One key works on up to three devices — the About panel shows which devices are using it and lets you free one up. Any Pro charge can be refunded in full within 14 days. Cancel any time from the same panel; it opens your own billing portal. Current pricing, the refund policy and the terms: https://tidywl.com/pro/
🛠️ FULL FEATURE LIST (free, with the one limit below)
🔍 Search your whole playlist by title, channel or tag, as you type. Works across thousands of videos without scrolling.
🏷️ The uploader's own tags on every card, clickable as filters — stack several to narrow, hover +N for the rest.
🗑️ Bulk delete selected videos, sent to YouTube in groups, with live progress, a stop button and Retry for any that fail.
❤️ Watch Later, Liked videos and every playlist in your library in one dashboard — pick one, or tick several and see them merged: one card per video, a chip for each playlist it's in, and Copy, Move and Delete across them. Playlists saved from other people can be searched and copied from.
🔄 Sync every ticked playlist in one run, or one at a time.
🗑️ Delete a playlist you own, or take one you saved off your library, from the menu.
💔 Remove likes in bulk, through the same flow as deletion.
📊 A sidebar with channel breakdown bars, sorted by count, that collapses out of the way.
🏷️ By Topic view: local keyword clustering, no API calls. Filter to a topic, or hide ones you don't want to see.
🔎 Search the sidebar's channel and topic lists as you type.
🎚️ Filter by watched status (with an adjustable progress threshold), availability, or duration (presets or a custom min/max).
📋 Grid of cards or a compact list, in the middle of the page or filling the whole window.
🔃 Sort by playlist order, duration, published date, views or title A–Z, or group the grid by channel with a heading you can fold for each one.
