Your channels, one dashboard

A Windows desktop app that polls your YouTube channels on a schedule, shows live streams on the Monitor tab (Pro adds recent uploads and lets you choose live-only, uploads-only, or both), and alerts you with sound and desktop notifications—so you’re not stuck with YouTube’s unreliable bell.

What you get

Built for fans, creators, and anyone who needs dependable live alerts—and with Pro, upload awareness on the Monitor and via notifications—not just whatever YouTube decides to notify.

Monitor tab

Free shows live streams on the Monitor. Pro adds recent uploads there and unlocks the display mode: live-only, uploads-only, or both together. Add channels by @handle without cluttering your YouTube subs.

Live stream alerts

Optional sound, desktop notifications, and automatic opening of the live stream page—in this app or your default browser (Pro).

Flexible polling

Free tier checks channels every 2 minutes. Pro unlocks 1–120 minute intervals so you control load vs. freshness.

Upload alerts (Pro)

RSS-based detection for new videos: notify, sound, and optional auto-open—without spamming you on the first baseline sync.

Channels & data

Manage your channel list locally. Export and import settings for backup or moving to a new PC.

Pro extras

Optional startup with Windows, start minimized to tray, pause automatic app updates, and hide promo channels on the Monitor (where available).

Purchase code & devices

Subscribe for a purchase code. Each code can be active on one installation at a time; unregister from the app to move it to another machine—without cancelling Stripe billing from here.

Theme & updates

Dark or light UI. Built-in updater checks for new app versions (you stay in control of install timing).

Pricing

Start free. Upgrade to Pro for uploads on the Monitor (including uploads-only), upload alerts, faster polling, and startup controls—billed securely via Stripe.

Pro unlocks subscriber features — $1/mo via checkout.

Why use it?

YouTube’s subscription bell is often late or silent. The YouTube Channel Monitor runs on your schedule: it polls channel pages, surfaces live streams on the Monitor for everyone, and—with Pro—recent uploads and uploads-only or combined layouts. Sound and desktop notifications help you trust what you see.

The free tier already includes live monitoring on the Monitor, live notifications, 2‑minute polling, and auto-opening the stream. Pro adds uploads on the Monitor (including uploads-only), upload alerts, finer polling, startup options, and more—priced modestly with checkout on this site.
