SubShelf — Smart YouTube Subscription Folders

Smart Subscription Category Folders & Feed Curator for YouTube™

Transform your cluttered YouTube subscription feed into organized, themed category decks. Are you subscribed to 50, 100, or 200+ channels and tired of endless scrolling? SubDeck brings powerful, native-feeling category folders directly into your YouTube™ left sidebar and subscription feed. KEY FEATURES: • Smart Category Folders: Group channels into custom folders (Tech & Coding, Gaming, Music & Audio, Education, Entertainment, etc.) right inside YouTube's sidebar. • 1-Click AI Auto-Categorization: Uses on-device AI (Gemini Nano) or high-precision NLP heuristics to automatically cluster all your subscriptions into curated decks in seconds. • Custom Feed Filtering: Click any folder to filter your /feed/subscriptions page so you only see videos from those specific channels. • Infinite Scroll Sync: Smoothly auto-loads more videos from your chosen category without breaking YouTube's native virtual grid. • In-Sidebar Channel Controls: Add channels via the inline picker (+), remove channels (✕), or create new custom folders (+ Folder) without leaving YouTube. • Full Popup Manager: Search any channel and easily move or assign channels to different folders via the popup dashboard. • Hide Shorts Shelves: Keep your subscription feed clean by automatically removing distracting Shorts carousels. • 100% Private & Local: All your data, categories, and settings are stored locally in your browser. No third-party tracking, no external servers, no ads. • Backup & Restore: Export and import your category layouts as JSON files to sync across multiple computers. PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS TRANSPARENCY: SubDeck strictly adheres to the Chrome Web Store Principle of Least Privilege: • Storage (chrome.storage.local): Used exclusively to save your custom categories, folder names, and channel assignments locally on your device. • Host Permissions (https://*.youtube.com/*): Needed to inject the folder sidebar and filter the subscriptions feed when you browse YouTube. • Host Permissions (https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/*): Used only if you optionally configure a personal Google Gemini Cloud API key.
