SubSense

Read full description

SubSense turns a messy wall of YouTube subscriptions into something you actually control β€” privately, on your device. Sign in with Google and SubSense organises the channels you follow into smart categories, shows you which ones have gone quiet or flood your feed, and gives you a fun, shareable recap of your subscription life. Unsubscribe from channels you no longer watch without leaving the app β€” every removal happens only after you review and confirm it, and Undo brings channels straight back. SubSense never posts, and never sends your data to our servers β€” because there are no servers. WHAT YOU GET β€’ Smart Categories β€” every channel sorted into clear topics automatically, with a "Mystery Box" you can tidy in one tap. β€’ Guided cleanup β€” review channels one by one, pick who goes, and unsubscribe right in the app after a single confirmation. Changed your mind? Undo puts them back in their original categories. β€’ Feed health score β€” a quick read on how cluttered your subscriptions are. β€’ Feed activity β€” see which channels have gone inactive and which ones flood your feed, sorted by last upload. β€’ Your Feed, Wrapped β€” a shareable, Spotify-style recap of who you follow: your oldest sub, your top categories, your feed personality, and how your taste has drifted. β€’ Year in Review β€” the same recap, reframed around your year. β€’ Roast My Feed β€” a playful, shareable roast of your subscriptions. β€’ Tags β€” make your own labels, open a tag as a group to review it, and filter by it. Your tags stay put through every sync. β€’ Latest videos β€” open a tag and switch to Latest videos to see the newest uploads from just those channels, newest first. Tap one to watch it in YouTube. β€’ Export β€” save your whole channel list as a CSV for Numbers, Excel or Sheets. The file is made on your phone; nothing is uploaded. β€’ All Subscriptions β€” search, filter, and sort everything you follow. β€’ Try the demo β€” explore SubSense with sample data, no sign-in needed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ You stay in control. SubSense never unsubscribes on its own β€” every removal happens only after you confirm a reviewed, named list, and it goes through YouTube's official API. β€’ On your device. Your data stays on your iPhone. SubSense talks only to Google's APIs to work with your own subscriptions β€” never to a third-party server. β€’ Minimal access. YouTube permissions to read your subscriptions and carry out the unsubscribes you confirm, plus your name and email to sign you in. Nothing else. FREE FEATURES, ONE OPTIONAL UPGRADE Smart categories, the full feed-activity analyzer, Wrapped, Year in Review, Roast, and Tags are all free. In-app unsubscribing is free for your first 10 channels. SubSense Pro lifts that cap: choose a monthly or annual plan, or buy the lifetime unlock once and keep it forever. Every price is shown in the app before you buy anything. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and can be managed or cancelled any time in your Apple ID settings. The lifetime unlock is a one-time purchase and never renews.
