Open-source YouTube growth tool: keyword research, what-to-copy video rankings, comment mining, launch tracking, retention reviews and a weekly briefing. Next.js + Claude.

← Content and publishing

In simple English

This is a private dashboard that helps you grow your YouTube channel. It lets you research what topics to film, check what competitors are doing, and read your audience's comments. It runs on your own computer and talks to YouTube and Claude (an artificial intelligence assistant) using your personal keys. You do not pay a monthly fee, but you must bring your own API keys. It works in any language, including Arabic.

What it is

A Next.js application that runs locally or on your own server, using a JSON file or Redis for data storage. It connects to the YouTube Data API and Anthropic's Claude to score video opportunities and analyze comments.

What it is good for

Solo content creators and small teams who want professional YouTube analytics and keyword research tools without paying for a commercial SaaS subscription.
