YouTube Watch History Pro

Automatically logs every YouTube video you see in your feed, search, channels, and Shorts. 100% local, no tracking.

YouTube's own history only records videos you clicked on. But what about the one you scrolled past yesterday that you wish you'd bookmarked? YouTube Watch History Pro logs every video that actually appeared in front of you — in the home feed, search results, on a creator's channel, as a watch-next suggestion, or while scrolling Shorts. Local archive, searchable, with a source tag on every tile so you know where you saw each video. ✦ HOW IT WORKS The extension runs silently in the background on youtube.com. It reads the same structured data YouTube uses to render videos on your screen, normalizes it, and stores thumbnails / titles / channels / durations locally on your device. Open the popup to browse your log. ✦ FEATURES • Automatic capture across home / search / channel / watch-next / Shorts / subscriptions • Source badge on every tile — instant context for "where did I see this" • Search by title or channel • Filter by source with 6 pills: All / Home / Search / Channel / Watch-next / Shorts • Shorts rendered as 9:16 vertical tiles, long-form as 16:9 • Delete individual entries or clear all • Export full history as JSON • 100% local, no account, no server, no analytics ✦ PRIVACY Your watch history is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage. No data is collected, transmitted, or shared with anyone. There are no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Uninstalling the extension deletes all stored data. ✦ NOTE This extension works on youtube.com (desktop web). It does not affect or integrate with YouTube's own Watch History feature — it's a private, parallel log that lives only in your browser.
