Changelog

Every range slider in Advanced filters on Long Form, Shorts and Viral now has min and max boxes under it. Type a value like 37K, 2.5M or 45d and press Enter.

If a seller accepts your waiting videos in YouTube Studio ahead of their turn, the order now shows them as done instead of still in line.

Pasting a youtube.com/channel link into Long Form or Shorts Channels search now opens that exact channel instead of loose matches. Handles and video links already worked.

YouTube search, channel videos and other tool results now take far fewer tokens in Claude and other apps, with nothing removed. Searches are about 44% smaller.
