What is CollorTube?
CollorTube is a Chrome browser extension designed to enhance the YouTube browsing experience by visually categorizing videos based on their upload date. The tool allows users to set custom time ranges—from one day up to five years—and assign personalized colors to these ranges. This creates an intuitive visual system where videos are highlighted according to their age, making it easy to distinguish between new and older content at a glance.
The extension works across various YouTube pages, including the homepage, subscriptions, search results, channel pages, and suggestions feeds. Users can choose between two or three timelines, customize colors using color pickers or HEX/RGB/HSL codes, and preview changes instantly. It supports both light and dark modes and is available through a license-based purchase model.
