Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built this because I broke my own Watch Later. I'd been hoarding videos for years — tutorials I'd "get to later," conference talks, recipe ideas, music to revisit. One day I tried to save another video and YouTube just... refused. Turns out Watch Later has a hard cap of 5,000 videos, and once you hit it, the only way out is to manually delete videos one at a time. There's no bulk delete. No filter. No sort. No way to even see what's in there at a glance. I checked if YouTube's official API could help. It can't — Google explicitly blocks Watch Later access through the public Data API. So I opened DevTools, found the internal endpoints YouTube's own web app uses, and built TidyWL on top of those. A few things I'm proud of: 🗂️ The dashboard groups your playlist by channel or by topic (auto-extracted from titles), so you can finally see what kind of mess you've built. It's modeled on macOS Storage Manager — find the biggest offenders, clean them out. 🔒 Everything runs locally in your browser. No login, no servers, no analytics, no telemetry. The extension calls YouTube's own endpoints with your existing session. 🆓 Free, no paywall, no "premium" features locked behind a subscription. There's a Ko-fi tip jar if you want to support it, but the full feature set is and will stay free. ⚠️ Honest caveat: this uses YouTube's internal (undocumented) API, so it can break if they change things. v1.3.1 added a remote-config system that can patch most parser changes without forcing an extension update, but bigger breakages will need patches. Happy to answer questions about the reverse-engineering, the architecture, or the YouTube-cap rabbit hole. And if you try it — I'd love feedback on what to build next. — Dominic
