SoloTube is a calmer YouTube client: one quiet, date-sorted feed of only the channels you choose. Notes pin to the exact second of the video, an AI brief sizes a video up before you commit 40 minutes, and the session ends when you say so.
Paste any channel or video link, import a playlist, or drop in your Google Takeout subscriptions — choosing, one by one, what deserves to come along.
One feed: only what you follow, newest first. No autoplay, no Shorts, no suggestions waiting in the margins to pull you sideways.
Notes pinned to the second, AI briefs before you commit, a budget for your attention — and a session that ends when the video does.
You open YouTube to learn something. The thumbnails get louder every year, the FOMO piles up, and every video spawns three rabbit trails — until forty minutes are gone and you've forgotten why you came. If you've felt that, this is for you.
Timestamped or general — your notes live with the video, jump to the second, and export with you.
You ask. It answers. Then it's gone. Nothing is ever pushed into your feed by itself.
For people who love YouTube — but hate what it's become.
