MeTube

by AR

A YouTube that lets you take control. No more getting sucked into the algorithm.

You sent it to Watch Later because it mattered. Then the feed ate your evening, and there it still sits. MeTube puts every video you saved or liked on one page. No recommendations. No rabbit holes. Only the videos you chose.

01 — Why

Watch Later is where good ideas go to die.

You save a video because it matters. Then you open YouTube, and the feed has other plans. An hour later you have watched everything except the thing you saved.

The feed leans on the same pulls that move markets: novelty, the next thing, one more.

MeTube removes the other plans. Every video on the page is one you liked, saved or filed on purpose. Watch them, and you are done.

02 — What it does

One page, three sources.

Liked

Everything you have liked on YouTube, pulled in automatically.

Watch Later

Your real Watch Later list, which YouTube does not let other apps read.

Bookmarks

Save any video into a Chrome folder called MeTube and it appears on the page.

Filter by source, search by title or channel, refresh when you like. YouTube itself is left exactly as it was.

03 — Install

One minute, once.

  1. 01Download MeTube.zip and unzip it to a folder that stays put, such as C:\MeTube.
  2. 02In Chrome, open chrome://extensions and switch on Developer mode.
  3. 03Click Load unpacked and choose the folder that has manifest.json directly inside it.
  4. 04Sign in at youtube.com, then click the MeTube icon in your toolbar.

Everything stays in your own browser. MeTube sends nothing anywhere. It is an unofficial project, not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
