The YouTube channel you want to watch, in order.
Channel Timeline Viewer sorts a channel’s uploads by publication date — oldest first — and keeps track of how far you got. Ideal for archives, lecture series, and long-running shows.
Free for one channel, with ads. No subscriptions — Pro is a one-time purchase with no ads.
The Android version is also available on Google Play.
Everything you do here is stored in this browser only. It is not sent anywhere, it is not shared with the app on your phone, and clearing your browser data removes it.
Channel URL
A channel URL (youtube.com/@handle or /channel/UC…), a bare @handle, or the URL of any video from the channel.
The free web trial saves one channel. To keep the watched history, progress, and notes of several channels, use Pro in the app.
Progress
You’ve watched everything 🎉
Choose a video from the list to start.
Moved on to the next video
Playback finished. Up next:
Videos marked as skip are passed over during autoplay.
Notes (for series and study)
Saved automatically as you type, in this browser only.
YouTube shows newest first. Series start at the beginning.
Catching up on a channel with hundreds of uploads means scrolling to the bottom, remembering which video you stopped at, and finding it again tomorrow. Channel Timeline Viewer turns that into a list you can simply work down.
Try one channel free on your computer
The web trial saves one channel and holds nothing back inside it: oldest- or newest-first order, watched tracking, progress, notes, resume, and playback in YouTube’s official embedded player.

What it looks like
The same screens we submitted to the App Store, captured on an iPhone.
What it does
Progress you can see
Watched count, percentage, and a progress bar for each channel — like a course you are working through.
Resume to the second
Stop in the middle of a video and it picks up from the exact second next time.
Watched and skipped
Mark videos watched or skipped, filter the list, and play only what you have not seen yet.
Repeat and autoplay
Repeat one video or the whole list. Autoplay to the next video is on by default and can be turned off at any time.
No recommendation rabbit holes
When a video ends you are never handed off to related videos or to another channel. The only thing that can come next is the next video of the channel you opened.
Share from YouTube
Share a channel or a video from the YouTube app or Safari and open its timeline straight away.
Notes per video
Keep a short note on each video — useful for lectures, tutorials, and long series.
Instant reopen
Channels you have opened before appear immediately from a saved list, then check for new uploads in the background.
Three steps
Paste or share a channel URL
Type it in, or use the share sheet in the YouTube app or Safari.
Start at video #1
The uploads appear oldest-first. Tap “Up next” to jump back in at any time.
Keep your place
Watched marks, progress, and playback positions stay on your device.
Free to start. Pro only if you want more channels
The app itself is free. Pro is a one-time purchase — not a subscription — and the only thing it unlocks is how many channels you can keep at once.
Free
Save one channel. Inside it nothing is held back: oldest- or newest-first order, watched tracking, resume, jump buttons, notes, progress, and playback in the official player.
Pro — one-time purchase
$4.99one-time purchase
The current store price for your region. Prices differ by country and are set in the App Store and Google Play, so what you see there is what you pay.
Save several channels and keep the watched history, progress, and notes of each one, so you never have to replace a channel to make room for another.
Not a subscription, and Pro has no ads. The price is the one shown in the App Store or Google Play at the time you buy; what you have already bought stays yours.
What it deliberately does not do
- The app does not download videos and does not save them for offline viewing.
- The app does not use a player of its own. Playback always happens in YouTube’s official embedded player.
- The app does not block ads and does not bypass playback restrictions.
- The app does not scrape web pages. The video list comes from the YouTube Data API v3.
- The app does not play in the background.
Questions
Is this the official YouTube app?
No. It is an independent viewing companion that uses YouTube’s official API and official embedded player. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with YouTube or Google.
Can it download videos?
No. There is no download or offline saving of any kind, and no ad blocking.
Does it play in the background?
No. Playback stops when you leave the app. While a video is playing the screen simply stays awake so it does not dim on you.
Do I need to sign in?
No account or sign-in. The app only reads public channel and video information through the YouTube Data API v3.
Where is my progress stored?
On your device only. Watch history, progress, notes, and playback positions never leave the phone, and they are deleted with the app.
Are there ads or subscriptions?
The free version shows ads (never over the video player). There are no subscriptions. The app is free and saves one channel, and inside that channel nothing is limited. Pro is an optional one-time purchase that removes the ads and lets you keep several channels, each with its own progress. Nothing is charged again afterwards.
Is there an Android version?
Yes. It is available on Google Play, and the iPhone version is on the App Store. Both work the same way, and what you have watched is kept on each device separately.
