PlanYT: YouTube Playlist Planner & Progress Tracker
Stop hoarding videos. Start finishing courses.
PlanYT is a lightweight YouTube productivity tool that lives directly inside your browser. It transforms YouTube from a distraction-filled video platform into a structured Learning Management System (LMS) - without you ever leaving the site.
Most "Watch Later" lists are where tutorials go to die. PlanYT changes that by injecting a native progress tracker and planner icon right into the YouTube interface.
The "In-YouTube" Experience:
Unlike other productivity apps, PlanYT doesn't require a separate dashboard.
• The PlanYT Icon: A dedicated, non-intrusive icon is injected directly into the YouTube playlist sidebar.
• Native Integration: Open your plan, track your daily targets, and see your completion percentage while you watch.
• Seamless Workflow: It feels like a "Pro" feature built by YouTube itself.
Why PlanYT is different:
• Smart Study Planner: Turn 50-hour coding bootcamps or massive lecture series into realistic daily goals.
• Injected Progress Tracking: PlanYT remembers exactly where you left off. A visual progress bar appears on your playlist page to keep you motivated.
• Daily Target Logic: Input your timeline and let PlanYT calculate exactly how many videos you need to watch today.
• Open Source & Privacy-First: Built by the community, for the community. No ads, no data tracking, and no unnecessary permissions.
• One-Click Auto-Resume: Jump back into your last active playlist with a single click from the injected PlanYT menu.
Perfect for:
• Developers: Tackling a new framework or a "100 Days of Code" series.
• Students: Organizing university lectures, exam prep, or SAT/GRE playlists.
• ADHD Productivity: Breaking overwhelming playlists into "dopamine-friendly" small daily wins.
• Self-Taught Learners: Anyone turning YouTube into their personal university.
No Ads. No Bloat. Just your YouTube — Planned.
PlanYT is Open Source and built for serious learners. Check out our GitHub to contribute or audit the code!
Stop "Watching Later." Start finishing now.

- As someone learning Spanish through a hundred video playlist, this helped me stay consistent. Instead of randomly picking lessons or forgetting where I left off, I set a daily target and just followed it. Seeing the progress percentage go up made it feel manageable, and I actually finished sections instead of abandoning them halfway through.
