Watch Later Tidy for YouTube™ & YouTube Music EN

Watch Later Tidy for YouTube™ & YouTube Music searches your Watch Later, your Liked videos and every playlist in your library as you type, by title, channel or the uploader's own tags, across thousands of saved videos. Send what you find to NotebookLM (now called Gemini Notebook) as sources, or bulk delete, remove likes in bulk, filter by channel or topic, group the grid by channel, sort by duration, views or upload date, reorder, sync every playlist at once, download transcripts in bulk, and escape the 5,000-video limit. The feature list below is free, with one limit for new installs on removing part of a list; an optional paid tier, TidyWL Pro, lifts that limit and adds clean-up rules, undo and a watch-list builder. Your playlist is fetched with your own YouTube session and cached on your device — the extension reports back only a random install ID and usage counts, never which videos, plus your licence key if you buy Pro. No account, no sign-in.

📋 Your YouTube Watch Later playlist is a graveyard.

Videos saved months or years ago. Channels you forgot you followed. A queue so long you stopped trusting it.

🔍 You know you saved that video. You just can't find it again.

Scrolling is the only tool you have — thousands of thumbnails, loading a screen at a time, hunting for one title you half-remember.

Then one day you hit the 5,000-video limit. YouTube freezes you out — nothing new until you dig through the pile and start deleting. One. Video. At. A. Time.

Your Liked videos list is worse — years long, no limit, and no way through it at all. The playlists you made yourself get exactly the tools YouTube gives Watch Later: none.

Watch Later Tidy fixes all of it.

Open a dashboard over your YouTube page, type a few letters to find any video instantly, see your whole playlist broken down by channel or topic (like a storage manager for your queue), filter, sort, reorder and bulk-delete. Minutes instead of hours.

🚀 HOW IT WORKS

1. Install the extension.
2. Go to youtube.com/playlist?list=WL (your Watch Later page) — or your Liked videos, or any playlist you own.
3. Click the Watch Later Tidy icon in Firefox's toolbar (pin it from the extensions menu if you don't see it).
4. Click "Open Dashboard".
5. Hit Sync and wait for the progress counter to finish.
6. Search, browse by channel or topic, filter, sort, select, bulk-delete, reorder or export.
7. Switch between Watch Later, Liked videos and any playlist in your library from the header at any time — each keeps its own cache. Tick several and you see them merged.

No account. No sign-in. No setup. No permissions beyond your current YouTube session.

✨ NEW IN v2.8

🔎 Search all videos from the sidebar's channel and topic search, with one click or Enter.
▶ Play as queue: the videos you tick play one after another in one tab, up to 50.
⚡ A big sync opens the list at once and fills in the details behind it, about 8 minutes for 4,000 videos. Until then, Music only and No music leave out videos not read yet. Resume sync finishes a sync that stopped early.
🖥 The dashboard is sized to your screen, from 1080p to 4K.
🛠 Fixed: the YouTube page behind the dashboard no longer scrolls.
🛠 Fixed: the sort menu's count no longer slips onto the line below.
