playlist.tools

The ultimate viewer and player to reverse, sort, and track YouTube playlists.

Solve YouTube Playlist Limitations

YouTube is built for endless scrolling and recommendation algorithms, not for structured learning or watching series. If you are watching tutorials, classes, or video series, you face constant friction:

Wrong Order: Playlists are often sorted newest-first, requiring you to scroll to the bottom to find "Episode 1".
No Progress Memory: YouTube often forgets which videos you've already completed in a long playlist.
Device Disconnect: Switching from your computer to your phone means losing your exact spot.
