PlaylistSearch YouTube Playlist Finder

Quickly search and filter playlists in YouTube's save dialog

Problem
Heavy YouTube users have hundreds of playlists, but saving a video offers no search. Ctrl+F breaks past 200 playlists, forcing manual scrolling—very inefficient.
Solution
A browser extension that replaces YouTube's 'Save to playlist' dialog with a native-feeling searchable interface. It fetches all playlists, shows whether the current video is saved, and supports sorting by name or date.
Users
Heavy YouTube users, content curators, researchers
MVP
Replace save dialog; search/filter playlists; show saved status; sorting; compatibility with YouTube desktop
Revenue
Free basic features + paid advanced features (bulk manage, export), one-time $5
Why now
YouTube hasn't improved playlist management for years; the pain is clear. Browser extensions are cheap to build and validate quickly
