YOUR PERSONAL VIDEO LIBRARY

A simple YouTube bookmark manager.

Keep the video worth returning to. A title, a thumbnail and your own context make it easier to find when you need it.

From a link to a recognizable bookmark.Paste a YouTube link and keep the title, channel and thumbnail together.

01 / SAVE A REFERENCE

Keep the link while it is handy.

Collect references for a project, tutorials to try or talks to revisit. Individual bookmarks live in your personal library, separate from the collections you author for readers.

  1. Copy a YouTube watch URL, Shorts link or youtu.be link.
  2. Open your video library and choose Add video.
  3. Paste the link, choose a category if useful, and select Add video to retrieve its details.

The same video is saved once per library. Pasting another URL for an existing video does not create a second copy. The video must still be available on YouTube when you open it.

02 / FIND IT AGAIN

Search through what you remember.

Open the magnifying-glass search control. Enter words from a title, channel, tag or personal note. Select All videos to search across categories.

Search checks saved details, including the entire note. It does not search transcripts or the wider YouTube catalogue. Add a note in your own words when the title alone will not help you remember.

Use categories and tags for a growing library, or a manual start time for one useful explanation.

03 / BUILD ON YOUR PICKS

A bookmark can be the beginning.

A few good references can become a collection with a purpose: add sections, write introductions and guide a reader through your selection. Creating a collection does not automatically publish personal bookmark notes.

Guest bookmarks stay in this browser. An account gives you a separate server-stored library. Use Import / Export → Download JSON for a copy of your video records; read the storage and backup guide before moving browsers.

Keep a copy of your references.Video-library JSON includes your notes, tags, categories and saved start times.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Can I save videos without subscribing to a channel?

Yes. YouSave saves individual links without subscribing. YouTube Watch Later also supports saving without subscribing.

Can I import a YouTube playlist?

Add video links individually. JSON import accepts a YouSave backup, not a YouTube playlist or Google Takeout file.

Do I need a browser extension?

No. Copy the video link and paste it into Add video. A browser extension is not required or currently provided.

Are the videos stored offline?

No. YouSave keeps bookmark records. Playback opens on YouTube; a JSON backup contains no video files.

SAVE SOMETHING WORTH COMING BACK TO

A personal library for your links, notes and useful moments.
