Channel Timeline Viewer is an app for people who want to watch YouTube channels from the beginning without losing their place.

Browse a channel from its oldest videos, track watched and unwatched videos, see your overall channel progress, resume from the exact playback position where you left off, and keep notes as you go.

Unlike a standard playlist, Channel Timeline Viewer is built around progressing through an entire channel over time. It helps turn long YouTube channels into a clear, trackable viewing timeline.

It is especially useful for people learning from YouTube tutorials, lectures, courses, educational channels, and long-running series. It can also help YouTube channel operators make older content easier to explore in order, and parents who want a simpler way to stay within a selected channel.

The free version supports one saved channel. A one-time Pro upgrade unlocks multiple channels.

Listing a channel oldest-first is the part YouTube makes hardest, since the uploads list only pages newest-first. Do you walk the whole uploads list once and cache it, or fetch it as the user scrolls? I'm curious how it behaves on channels with 3,000+ uploads, and whether Shorts and premieres land in the timeline or can be filtered out.

Hi Fazier! I built Channel Timeline Viewer because I wanted to watch YouTube channels from their very first video, in order - something YouTube itself doesn't make easy. It lists a channel's uploads oldest-first, tracks what you've watched, resumes from the exact second you stopped, and lets you keep notes per video. It has passed 10,000 installs on iPhone and Android, and it's free for one channel with no account needed. Which channel would you binge from the beginning? Feedback is very welcome!

Resuming from the exact spot on a channel with hundreds of videos is something playlists never got right. Do the notes stay tied to a video and timestamp, so you can jump back to the moment you wrote them?
