The same channels, organized by you into separate feeds.
Make feeds for the topics you enjoy, or for something you’re learning, like a course or a skill. Open a feed from YouTube’s sidebar to see videos from just those channels. Switch feeds when you’re in the mood for something else.
Explainers, discoveries, and tech reviews.
Recipes, techniques, and ideas for dinner.

Yes. Retube is free, with no account or API key required.
Retube works in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on a computer. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or Edge Add-ons. Each browser keeps its own feeds, so export a backup from one and import it into the other to bring them across.
Yes, with Retube. YouTube shows every subscribed channel in one Subscriptions feed and has no built-in way to group them by topic. Retube, a free browser extension by Uptek, adds topic feeds that work like folders. Install Retube from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or Edge Add-ons, then open YouTube: a Set up Retube entry appears in the left sidebar. Name a feed after an interest, such as Cooking, Science, or Fitness. Add channels by picking them from your YouTube subscriptions, by pasting a channel’s @handle or URL, or with Add beside Subscribe on the channel’s page. A channel can belong to more than one feed. Open any feed from YouTube’s sidebar to see only those channels’ uploads, newest first, then switch between Videos, Shorts, and Live. Retube needs no account: feeds stay in your browser, and you can export a backup to move them to another device.
Retube shows uploads from only the channels you choose, in as many feeds as you like. YouTube’s custom feed is a single feed built from a text prompt you write, and YouTube picks the videos. It is an experiment in US English only, needs you signed in with watch and search history on, and a prompt expires after 30 days without use. Retube needs no account of its own and no watch history, and its feeds never expire.
No, you choose. Pick channels from your subscriptions while signed in to YouTube, paste a channel’s @handle or link, or add a channel from its page. Retube reads your subscriptions only to show the picker, keeps the channels you choose, and never changes your subscriptions.
Yes. You can add public channels to your feeds without subscribing to them on YouTube.
Inside YouTube. Open a feed from Retube’s section in YouTube’s sidebar or from the extension popup. Videos play on YouTube as usual.
Yes. Export a backup, then import it into Retube on the other device. Your feeds are stored in your browser and don’t sync automatically.
Start with the channels you love. Group them by interest and choose what you’re in the mood to watch.
Free to use. No account required. Get it from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or Edge Add-ons.
