GridVids
A better way to follow your YouTube subscriptions. Organize channels by priority, hide watched and uninteresting videos, put shorts where they belong. Your choice where that is.

A favorite card spans two columns. State chips and a progress bar mark promoted, watched, and in-progress videos.
1
Latest
New uploads from active, visible channels since your last visit.
2
Don't Miss
Uploads you pinned so they stay easy to reach. Your call, not an algorithm's.
3
Continue Watching
Videos you started on the GridVids watch page but haven't finished.
4
Yesterday
The previous day, isolated so a busy yesterday doesn't bury today.
5
Weekdays
Older days through the seven-day window, each under its own heading.
Video actions
Four states.
Each with its own feed.
Every card has the same short toolbar. Pick a state and the video moves to where you'd expect to find it later.
Already Watched
Mark something handled — watched elsewhere, or not needed. Drops out of the default grid.
Don't Miss
Pin an upload into the Don't Miss section at the top of the feed.
Continue Watching
Watch inside GridVids and unfinished videos land here automatically.
Channel actions
Channels shape the grid
Larger cards
Favorites get more visual weight in the masonry feed and a dedicated Favorite Channels view.

Stay in chronological order without extra prominence.
Muted source
Removed from the main feed without touching your underlying YouTube subscription.
Beyond the grid
Watch and search
A real watch page that records your progress, and search that stays inside the channels you chose.

YouTube embed, Plyr for custom controls, or a privacy-friendly Invidious instance. Autoplay and captions are optional.

Optional SponsorBlock skips sponsor segments on Plyr and YouTube embed playback.
Chapters, controls, progress
Keyboard controls, description chapters, and saved resume points that feed Continue Watching.
Search your subscriptions
Full-text search across videos and channels you follow — narrow it to specific channels when you need to.
