See what you watched and said on YouTube, years ago.
Import the copy of your YouTube data that Google lets you download. It's read right here on this computer and never uploaded anywhere.
Select every Takeout .zip at once. No need to unzip. You can also drag files anywhere on this page.
Free and open source. Read the code on GitHub.

Download it

-
03
Import it here
Click Import your YouTube data and select all the .zip files together. Your memories show up right away, and they'll still be here next time you open the app.
Is this safe?
Yes. The app runs entirely in your browser and your files never leave this computer. To show thumbnails and video titles, it asks YouTube for them using each video's ID, the same way any web page shows a YouTube thumbnail. Your comments and history are never sent anywhere. You can switch this off after importing. The app is open source, so anyone can check the code on GitHub.
My download is huge (many gigabytes)
That's your uploaded videos. You can still import it: the app skips videos and only reads the small files it needs. For a much smaller download next time, untick videos in step 1.
Google split it into several .zip files
Download all of them and select them together when importing. You can also add more later with Add files at the top of the page.
Where is my data kept after importing?
In this browser, so it opens instantly next time. Click Start over at the top of the page to erase it. Your original files are never changed.
