Better memory

Human memory drops titles and channels faster than the algorithm does. Your Takeout file is a ground-truth log. ViewPulse turns it into a browsable timeline and rankings so you can answer “what was that series?” or “what was I obsessed with that winter?”

When this shines

After a trip, a move, or a busy work sprint, your YouTube diet often shifts. The history file preserves the trail. ViewPulse makes that trail legible again so you can rediscover a documentary, a music phase, or a niche channel without relying on recommendations alone.

Privacy stays local

Treat the export like a personal archive. Keep the zip offline when you are not analyzing it, and clear the tab when you are finished on a shared machine. Optional AI features are separate; core revisiting works without keys or network calls for analytics.
