YT History Collector

Save, manage, search, export, and analyze your YouTube watch metadata locally.

YT History Collector helps you keep a private, local dashboard of YouTube videos and Shorts you watch. The extension saves YouTube watch metadata in Chrome local extension storage and gives you tools to review your viewing history without sending that history to an external server. Key features: - Automatically save metadata from YouTube videos and Shorts. - View saved history in a dashboard with thumbnails, titles, channels, watch timestamps, durations, tags, and descriptions. - Search saved history by title, channel, video ID, tags, hashtags, and description. - Filter regular videos and Shorts. - Open detailed history records with video and channel links. - Delete individual history items or clear all saved history. - Export the current history view as JSON or CSV. - Review local analytics such as estimated watch time, Shorts ratio, daily trends, channel ranking, type breakdown, and keyword ranking. Privacy and data handling: - Your saved YouTube watch metadata stays in Chrome local extension storage on your device. - This extension does not transmit your collected history to external servers. - This extension does not sell or share your collected history with third parties. - You can delete individual items or clear all saved history from the dashboard. Notes: - The extension runs on YouTube pages so it can handle YouTube single-page app navigation. - It saves metadata only when the current page is a YouTube watch or Shorts page. - Already-open YouTube tabs may need to be reloaded after installing or updating the extension.
