Watch Later Explorer

Sort, filter, search, export and clean up your YouTube Watch Later playlist.

Your Watch Later list keeps growing, and YouTube only lets you scroll through it one video at a time. Watch Later Explorer opens the whole list in a single panel, so you can see what's in it, decide what to watch next and clear out what you'll never get to. SEE EVERYTHING AT ONCE • Your entire Watch Later list in one view, with the number of videos and the total watch time • Opens instantly: the list is cached in your browser and refreshed in the background SORT • List order (oldest or newest first) • Duration: shortest or longest first • Title or channel, A–Z FILTER • By channel: pick one or several; each channel shows how many videos it has and their total length • By length: under 5 min, 5–20 min, 20–60 min, over 1 hour • By text in the title or channel name • Hide deleted and private videos • Filters combine, and the totals update as you go CLEAN UP • Remove a video from Watch Later with one click • Every removal can be undone for 5 seconds CAN'T DECIDE? PICK AT RANDOM • "Random" opens a random video from whatever you've filtered (say, a 5–20 minute video from your favourite channels) in a new tab • When you come back, it asks whether to remove that video from Watch Later EXPORT • Save the current selection as CSV (opens straight in Excel) or JSON HOW TO USE 1. Open youtube.com and sign in. 2. Click the extension icon or press Alt+W. That's it: no setup, no account linking, no API keys. Works in light and dark mode, and with multiple Google accounts and brand accounts. PRIVACY Watch Later Explorer runs only on www.youtube.com, inside your own signed-in session, and talks only to YouTube. There are no servers, no analytics and no tracking. Your list and settings are stored in your browser only, and nothing is sent to the developer or anyone else. Watch Later Explorer is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
