In simple English
This program helps you find good ideas, check search words, and watch competitors for your YouTube channel. It runs directly on your computer so you do not pay a monthly subscription. You use your own free Google keys to pull data from YouTube. You need to set up those keys inside the program before you start.
What it is
A self-hosted (running on your own hardware) web dashboard and Claude Code tool (Model Context Protocol server, a way for an AI assistant to talk to local tools) built with Python and FastAPI (a framework for building fast web services in Python). It tracks keywords, video performance, and competitor channels without sending your data to any third-party server.

Solo YouTube creators who want keyword research, SEO checks, and competitor tracking without paying for commercial subscriptions like vidIQ or TubeBuddy.
