Munchy — Curated YouTube Sessions

About

Tired of YouTube's algorithm pulling you in random directions? Munchy puts you in control.

Just tell Munchy what you want to watch and for how long — "football, 1 hour" — and it finds the best videos on that topic, filters out Shorts and low-quality content, and opens a perfectly timed queue in YouTube automatically.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Enter a topic (any niche: cooking, Formula 1, true crime, guitar lessons...)
2. Choose your session length (30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, or custom)
3. Hit "Munch it" — Munchy searches YouTube, ranks the best videos, and opens them as a queue

SMART FILTERING
- Exclude YouTube Shorts automatically
- Filter by recency (last 24h, week, month, year, or any time)
- Filter by video length (short, medium, long)
- Set minimum view count to avoid low-quality content
- Filter by language
- Skip videos you've already watched

YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE
Munchy uses the YouTube Data API v3 with your own free API key (BYOK — Bring Your Own Key). Getting a free API key takes about 2 minutes and gives you ~100 sessions per day at no cost. All your data stays on your device — no accounts, no servers, no tracking.

OPTIONAL AI SUMMARIES
If you add an Anthropic API key, Munchy can generate a quick 3-sentence summary of any video before you watch it.
