About Play

Play is the best way to bookmark and organize videos to watch later.

  • Videos can be imported from a playlist, added via the Share Sheet, drag and drop, or automatically from YouTube channels.
  • You can search, filter, sort, categorize with tags, and add Markdown notes.
  • Watch supported YouTube videos in-app for a native experience.
  • Follow YouTube channels and get new videos as they're released. Easily save videos you want to watch and delete the rest.
  • iCloud keeps everything up-to-date, so you can queue videos from your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, and watch them later on your Apple TV.
  • You can also add and customize Interactive Widgets to quickly view and access your videos.

Play automatically fetches metadata and saves videos from a wide range of platforms. You can also add videos manually by filling in the required fields.
