The YouTube workspace for
people who came to learn.
Feedvault gives you the channels you chose, in the order they published, with Shorts and recommendations stripped out. Save the videos worth revisiting into Studies, each with a note. No algorithm. No Shorts. No extension to install.

Research, lectures and explainers I'm tracking. 5 channels.
You subscribed for a reason. The algorithm has other plans.
You followed those channels on purpose. Then the home feed buried their uploads under Shorts, recommendations, and videos you never asked for. Sitting down to learn one thing turns into twenty minutes scrolling away from it.
Your channels, buried
New uploads from the channels you chose get lost under recommended videos.
Shorts everywhere
A wall of vertical clips you never subscribed to, sitting in front of the content you did.
Watch Later rots
The videos you meant to return to vanish into a list with no order and no notes.
Focus, gone
You came to learn one thing and left having watched five others.
A surface that shows you what you chose. Nothing else.
Feedvault is not an extension that patches YouTube. It is a separate place you open. Two ideas run it: Feeds for keeping up, Studies for going deep.
Feeds: your channels, newest first.
Group channels into a Feed by topic. Every new upload lands automatically, sorted by publish date, with no recommendations in between. Shorts never enter. It is the subscription feed YouTube stopped giving you, on a page that is only yours.
- Group by topic, project, or mood
- Newest first, always. No algorithm in between
- Shorts never ingested, on any device
- An emoji icon per Feed for fast scanning
Studies: a notebook for the videos worth keeping.
Save any video into a Study and write down why. A tutorial, a talk, a recipe, with a free-text note and the timestamp that mattered. This is the part no extension does. It turns YouTube from a place you scroll into a library you build.
- Save by URL, or one click from any video in a Feed
- A free-text note on every saved video
- Watch-later, important, and viewed flags that do not vanish
- An emoji icon per Study
Build a Feed. Keep what matters. Watch with focus.

Most tools patch YouTube. Feedvault replaces the feed.

Unhook, PocketTube, and the newer FolderTube all layer on top of YouTube's interface. They are useful, and several are free or close to it. The trade is that they depend on YouTube's frontend, so they break when YouTube ships changes, and they keep you inside the feed you were trying to leave. Feedvault is a separate surface. You open it instead.
Why I built Feedvault.
I follow channels to learn, but the home feed kept burying their uploads under Shorts and recommendations I never asked for. I wanted the simple thing YouTube stopped giving us: the channels I chose, newest first, no Shorts, plus a place to keep the videos worth returning to. So I built it, and I use it every day.
