YouTube Subscription Manager with Folders and Filtering
C6/10April 6, 2026
WhatA self-hosted or SaaS tool that organizes YouTube subscriptions into custom groups/categories with per-channel filtering, shorts removal, and a chronological feed — replacing YouTube's broken subscriptions page.
SignalMultiple users describe maintaining multiple YouTube accounts just to keep their subscription feeds manageable, and express grief over YouTube removing the ability to hide unwatched videos and degrading the subscriptions page into another algorithmic feed.

MarketHeavy YouTube consumers (est. 200M+ daily logged-in users); $5-10/mo subscription; competes with FreeTube/NewPipe (open source, fragile) and RSS workarounds (too technical for most users).
