Keep up with your channels.
Keep the videos worth revisiting.
Group the YouTube channels you choose into topic Feeds, with new uploads in publish-date order. Save useful videos into Studies with your own notes, so you can return with context.
Works in your browser, with no extension to install. Videos open on YouTube.

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. Eligible new uploads appear in publish-date order, with no recommendations inserted between them. Feedvault filters likely Shorts from its Feed using duration and aspect ratio. Because YouTube does not provide a native Shorts label here, the filter may not identify every Short. This is your own focused view of the channels you chose.
Learn how to organize channels by topic →
- Group by topic, project, or mood
- Newest first, always. No algorithm in between
- Likely Shorts filtered from your Feed
- An emoji icon per Feed for fast scanning
Studies: a notebook for the videos worth keeping.
Save a video into a Study and write down why it matters. Keep tutorials, talks, recipes, and other useful videos by topic, with a free-text note on each. You can type a timestamp into your note; timestamps are not captured automatically.
Compare ways to save videos with notes →
- Save by URL, or directly from a video in a Feed
- A free-text note on every saved video
- Watch-later, important, and viewed status flags
- An emoji icon per Study

Choose the workflow you’ll actually use.
| Capability | YouTube subs | Unhook | PocketTube | Feedvault |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A standalone app you open instead of YouTube | n/a | No | No | Yes |
| Subscribed-channel uploads, newest first | Yes | via YouTube | via YouTube | Yes |
| Save videos with free-text notes (Studies) | No | No | No | Yes |
| Group channels by topic | No | No | Yes | Yes |
YouTube’s Subscriptions tab already shows recent uploads from channels you follow. Free tools may be enough if you only want fewer distractions or channel folders. Feedvault combines topic-based Feeds and Studies with notes in a separate browser workspace. Playback still opens on YouTube.
Why I built Feedvault.
I follow channels to learn, but the home feed kept burying their uploads under recommendations I never asked for. YouTube's Subscriptions tab already lists recent uploads, but I wanted to group my chosen channels into focused Feeds and keep the videos worth returning to in Studies. So I built it, and I use it every day.
