Open your Google Takeout file to search everything you watched by title or channel, see who you watch most, jump to any evening, and play it again. Free, and nothing is uploaded.
The .zip Google Takeout gives you. JSON and English HTML both work.

Your file stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
Ask Google Takeout for your YouTube history. It takes a minute to request.
Google emails you a download link, often within minutes when only history is selected, and the link works for about a week. On an iPhone the .zip lands in the Files app, and Choose file opens it from there.
On a computer, go to youtube.com/feed/history. Both show one long list. Your Takeout file adds viewing sessions, every channel ranked by views, a year in review, and a CSV.
Your Takeout file opens on both YouTube pages. Nothing is uploaded.

In the YouTube app, tap your profile photo, then Settings, then Manage all history. On a computer, go to youtube.com/feed/history. To see all of it by channel and session, download your history from Google Takeout and open it on this page.
Open your Takeout file here and type a word from the title or the channel name. If you only remember roughly when, pick the day under Jump to a day and step through that session with Next.
YouTube only keeps history while watch history is on, and Google can delete it automatically after 3, 18, or 36 months if auto-delete is set. Videos watched while signed out or in incognito are never saved.
Go to takeout.google.com, click Deselect all, then tick YouTube and YouTube Music. Under All YouTube data included, keep only history, and under Multiple formats set History to JSON. Click Next step, then Create export. Google emails you a link to the .zip, often within minutes when only history is selected.
No. Your browser opens the file on your device, and nothing from it is sent to Tote. To show thumbnails and play videos, the page asks YouTube for them by video ID, and YouTube already has this history. The file is gone when you close the tab or tap Clear file.
Pick JSON under Multiple formats. It has the exact time of every view in any language. Takeout picks HTML unless you change it. HTML works here for English accounts, but its times can be off by an hour, and other languages can't be read.
Share a YouTube video to Tote from your iPhone and find it again by what's in it, not by scrolling your history.
