I’ve been building Velty[1] over the past year as a tool to tame my ever-growing YouTube subscriptions. It’s a web app (PWA) that lets you organize your YouTube channels and videos into folders (with sub-folders), and view all the latest videos in one chronological feed with powerful filtering/sorting.
I built it because I was frustrated with how hard it was to manage a large number of channel subscriptions using YouTube’s default interface.

hi everyone,
I've been working on a web app (https://velty.app) that lets you organize your YouTube subscriptions and videos into folders and sub-folders. It helps you find what you want to watch more easily.
The idea came up when I found it hard to organize my growing list of YouTube subscriptions and finding videos easily. The YouTube playlists system is limited — it lacks hierarchy and search functionality. I wanted an app to organizing everything into folders and sub-folders to easily find videos by their duration or the channel they're from. Also, provide the same functionality on mobile and destkop.
I tried different methods like RSS readers, browser extensions, and bookmarks, but they all had drawbacks:
- Browser extensions don't work on mobile.
- With bookmarks, filtering and sorting are challenging.
- RSS readers have limitations in organizing folders and sub-folders and lack filtering and sorting options such as duration, published date, and channel names.
I'm keen to hear your thoughts on the idea!
Sorry, I don’t plan to add that feature.
