Too many YouTube subscriptions? Scrolling endlessly? MyTubeShelf helps you organize channels into custom groups and browse them in a clean, focused way. No recommendations. No ads. Just your subscriptions. * WHAT YOU CAN DO + Group subscriptions your way + Organize channels into topics like Tech, Music, News, or anything you want. * SMART GROUP FEEDS + View videos by group, sorted by date or popularity. * CLEAN, DISTRACTION-FREE BROWSING + Focus on what you follow, not what YouTube recommends. * AUTOMATIC ICLOUD SYNC + Your groups and setup stay in sync across all your iOS devices. *** HOW IT WORKS (IMPORTANT) *** To avoid repeated YouTube logins, the app uses RSS feeds. This keeps the app fast, simple, and private - with a few intentional limits: - Sign in once, then refresh manually if you add or remove subscriptions - Shows the 15 most recent public videos per channel - Paid videos and Shorts may not appear - RSS feeds may occasionally return no videos for certain channels These are design choices, not bugs. * FREE & AD-FREE FOREVER + No ads + No tracking + No subscriptions Just a free tool built to help you organize YouTube subscriptions. * BEST FOR + Users with lots of subscriptions + People who want organized, topic-based feeds + Anyone who prefers speed, privacy, and simplicity * NOT FOR - Real-time auto-sync expectations - Shorts-only or paid-content browsing - Full YouTube app replacements * FINAL LINE If you want a simple, honest way to organize YouTube, this app is for you. MyTubeShelf doesn’t store your personal data. Sign-in happens directly with Google only when you log in or refresh subscriptions. Groupings can be synced via iCloud, but only your subscription organization is stored - nothing else. We don’t track, share, or sell your data.
