YouTube Watch History — Browse, Search & Manage Your Watch History

Ever watched a video you loved but couldn't remember the title? Scrolled endlessly through YouTube's built-in history trying to find something you watched weeks ago? YouTube Watch History is a Chrome extension that gives you a fast, clean, and private way to browse every YouTube video you've ever watched — directly from your browser history, with no account login, no API, and no data collection whatsoever.

HOW IT WORKS
YouTube Watch History reads directly from Chrome's built-in browsing history. The moment you install it, every YouTube video you've visited in this browser is instantly organized into a clean, scrollable list with thumbnails, titles, visit counts, and timestamps. There's nothing to set up, no account to create, and no permissions beyond what's strictly necessary.

FREE FEATURES
✓ Instant history viewer — see all your watched YouTube videos the moment you open the extension
✓ Video thumbnails, titles, and visit timestamps displayed for every entry
✓ Visit count — see how many times you've watched each video
✓ Star any video to save it as a favorite for quick access
✓ Delete individual videos from your history with one click
✓ Sort by Most Recent to keep your latest watches at the top
✓ Clean, dark interface designed to match YouTube's aesthetic
✓ 100% private — everything stays in your browser, nothing is ever transmitted

PRO FEATURES — ONE-TIME PAYMENT, YOURS FOREVER
⚡ Full Favorites Collection — view and manage all your starred videos in one dedicated tab
⚡ Search by title and filter by date range (Today, This Week, This Month, All Time)
⚡ Sort by Most Viewed or Alphabetically (A → Z) in addition to Most Recent
⚡ Export your complete watch history as a CSV or JSON file for your own records
⚡ All future Pro updates included — pay once, get everything

WHY USE THIS INSTEAD OF YOUTUBE'S BUILT-IN HISTORY?
YouTube's own history page is slow, cluttered with ads and recommendations, and requires you to be signed in to a Google account. It also has slow search, no sorting, and no way to export your data.

YouTube Watch History gives you:
— A distraction-free, ad-free interface
— Instant load from local browser history (no network requests)
— Search and sort controls YouTube doesn't offer
— The ability to export your history as a file you actually own
— Complete privacy — no sign-in, no tracking, no data sent anywhere

PRIVACY FIRST
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Your watch history never leaves your device. Favorites are stored locally in your browser's extension storage. The only external network request the extension makes is to validate your Pro license key when you activate it — and even then, only the key itself is sent, nothing else.
No ads. No analytics. No accounts. No tracking. Ever.

IMPORTANT NOTE
YouTube Watch History is based on your Chrome browser history on this specific device. It does not connect to YouTube or your Google account, which means:
— Videos watched in Incognito mode will not appear
— Videos watched on mobile or other browsers will not appear
— Clearing your browser history will remove videos from the extension
— Favorited videos are stored separately and are not affected by clearing browser history
