YouTube Playlist Manager Light

I watch a lot of YouTube. And over time I ended up with playlists scattered everywhere, saved in random browser bookmarks or just lost entirely.

So I built a small Chrome extension to fix exactly that. It's called YouTube Playlists Manager Light, it's completely free, and it does one thing well: it lets you save, organize, and instantly open any YouTube playlist from your browser toolbar.

What it does

📋 Save any playlist in seconds Paste a YouTube URL — playlist link, video link, or even a raw playlist ID — give it a name, and it's saved. No account, no login, no setup.

🖼 Visual thumbnails pulled automatically Every saved playlist shows its thumbnail fetched from YouTube, so your list looks like an actual media library instead of a wall of text links.

🗂 Groups with color coding This is the feature I'm most happy with. You can create named groups — Learning, Music, Gaming, Work, whatever — assign a color, and organize your playlists into them. A filter bar lets you switch between groups with one click.

🚀 One click to open Click the thumbnail or the playlist name → YouTube opens instantly. That's it.

🔒 100% local, zero tracking Everything is stored in Chrome's local storage. No servers, no analytics, no data collection of any kind. Your playlists never leave your device.

It's free. No plans to charge.

I built this for myself and figured others might find it useful. There are no paid tiers, no "pro" features, no email capture. Just install and use it.
