Organize your YouTube backlog in seconds.
Stop drowning in 5,000 forgotten videos. TubeTidy automatically purges watched videos, categorizes your queue into curated playlists, and removes duplicates—100% in your browser.
Why Watch Later Becomes a Digital Graveyard
YouTube makes saving videos effortless, but makes cleaning them nearly impossible. Here is why thousands of users hit the 5,000-video wall.
The 15,000-Click Torture
YouTube has refused to build a "Clear Watched" button for 14 years. Managing a large backlog manually is exhausting.
- The 5,000 Cap Trap: Once you hit 5,000 videos, new saves silently fail without any error notification.
- 3 Clicks Per Video: Click 3 dots, wait for menu, click remove, wait for animation. For 5,000 videos, that is 15,000 clicks.
- Duplication Clutter: The same video gets saved into multiple playlists with no warning.
Instant Inbox Zero in 10 Seconds
Runs directly in your browser using high-speed batch requests. Safe, private, and automatic.
- 1-Click Watched Purge: Detects red progress bars (>=85%) and purges hundreds of videos in seconds.
- Smart Topic Sorter: Automatically sorts unwatched videos into clean playlists (Tech, Podcasts, Food, etc.).
- Two-Phase Commit: Confirms videos are safely added to target playlists before deleting from source.
