Better Playlists: YouTube Playlist Organizer

Organize YouTube playlists with a sidebar, batch move, copy and remove, pagination and search, in YouTube's own look.

Are you tired of YouTube's clunky playlist management? Hundreds of videos trapped in "Watch Later"? Clicking the three-dots menu one by one just to move or delete videos? Better Playlists transforms YouTube playlists into a powerful, clean, and modern organizer. Featuring an always-accessible sidebar, true batch editing, one-click cleanup of deleted/private videos, cross-playlist search, and clean pagination—all wrapped in YouTube's native design language. ✨ KEY FEATURES 📂 1. Persistent Playlist Sidebar • Instant Navigation: Browse and switch between all your playlists directly from the sidebar without reloading or losing your place. • Organized Groups: Neatly grouped into "Quick" (Watch Later, Liked Videos), "Created Playlists", and "Saved Playlists". • Drag-and-Drop Ordering: Reorder playlists effortlessly with intuitive drag-and-drop. • Inline Creation & Actions: Quickly create new playlists, edit details, or share links right from the sidebar. ⚡ 2. True Batch Operations (Save Hours of Manual Work) • Range Selection: Hold Shift + Click to select multiple consecutive videos in one go. • Page & Total Select: Select all videos on the current page with Ctrl / ⌘ + A, or select all across the entire playlist. • Batch Move: Move selected videos to another playlist with a single click (automatically adds to target and removes from source). • Batch Copy: Copy videos to one or multiple playlists simultaneously, with automatic duplicate detection. • Batch Remove & Unlike: Remove multiple videos safely with confirmation dialogues and Undo support. 🧹 3. One-Click Cleanup: Unavailable & Duplicate Videos • Clear Unavailable Videos: Instantly identify and remove deleted, private, or region-blocked videos ([Deleted video] / [Private video]). • Remove Duplicates: Detect redundant videos across a playlist and keep only the first or last instance with one click. 🔍 4. Instant Search & Cross-Playlist Lookup • In-Playlist Search: Real-time filtering by video title or channel name. • Cross-Playlist Search: Can't remember where you saved that video? Search across ALL your playlists at once, with direct links to the containing lists. 📑 5. Clean Pagination (No More Infinite Scroll Lag) • Say goodbye to sluggish infinite scrolling and browser memory bloat. • Clean pagination (40 videos per page) with direct jump-to-page input. • Non-destructive Local Sorting: Sort by Most Popular, Date Added, or Upload Date without overwriting your playlist's actual cloud order. 🎨 6. 100% Native YouTube Look & Feel • Zero Visual Disruption: Fully adopts YouTube's native design tokens, typography, rounded corners, and dark/light themes. • Zero Lock-in: Prefer the default layout for a moment? Switch back to YouTube's native view anytime with a single click in the menu. ⌨️ HANDY KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • Shift + Click: Select a range of videos • Ctrl / ⌘ + Click: Quick select / Enter batch mode • Ctrl / ⌘ + A: Select all videos on current page • Esc: Clear selection / Exit batch edit / Close modals 🔒 100% PRIVATE, LOCAL & TRULY FREE • Zero Data Collection: No user tracking, no telemetry, no analytics scripts, and no external servers. We collect absolutely nothing. • 100% Stored Locally: All your playlist caches and settings reside strictly inside your browser's local storage. • No Extra Logins: Directly reuses your active YouTube session. No passwords, permissions, or API keys needed. • No Feature Locks: Every single playlist management feature (batch actions, sidebar, cleanup, search, pagination) is 100% free with zero limits. ☕ OPTIONAL SUPPORT PACK (Aesthetic Themes) YouTube frequently updates its UI and code, which requires constant maintenance and upkeep to keep the extension running smoothly.
