Description
Follow channels, build playlists, and get a subscriptions-only YouTube homepage - all stored locally, no account, no tracking. Use YouTube like you're signed without an account. LocalTube runs directly on youtube.com: your subscriptions become the homepage, playlists queue and shuffle like normal, and every button sits exactly where YouTube's own already sits. Nothing to learn, no separate page, no new tab — it feels like YouTube, because it is YouTube, just without the sign-in wall. 🏠 Native homepage: your homepage becomes a feed of new uploads from channels you follow, in YouTube's own layout — Shorts shelved separately, with a setting to hide them entirely. 👍 Follow & like, anywhere: Subscribe and Like work right where YouTube already shows them — the channel page, search results, video pages — no account behind either button. ▶️ Playlists that actually play: build playlists with real shuffle, auto-advance, and resume-from-where-you-left-off — the same as watching signed in. 💾 Save existing YouTube playlists: copy any YouTube playlist into LocalTube in one click, no extra permission required. 🔔 Upload notifications: a bell in YouTube's own masthead lists new uploads from channels you follow — no push permission, no background service. 🥡 Google Takeout import: bring your real subscription list over once, without ever logging in. 🔄 Backup & restore: export everything to a file and restore it on any browser. BUILT INTO YOUTUBE, NOT NEXT TO IT: LocalTube doesn't reskin YouTube or bolt on a dashboard, it replaces the sign-in wall on the page you already use, with the same layout, the same shortcuts, the same feel. There's nothing new to learn because nothing about how you browse YouTube changes. YOUR DATA STAYS PRIVATE: LocalTube asks for exactly two things: storage, to keep your data in the browser, and permission to run on youtube.com — no tabs, no downloads, no third-party server. Everything lives in chrome.storage.local and only ever talks to YouTube's own public feeds. A LocalTube follow, like, or watch never leaves your device and can't influence YouTube's recommendations. Free, with no account required to use any part of it. LocalTube is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google. "YouTube" is a trademark of Google LLC.
