# Adinand Channel Sorter

> Adinand Channel Sorter (formerly SubSense) is a privacy-first YouTube subscription organizer for iOS and Android. It reads your YouTube subscriptions directly on your device and shows which channels have gone inactive, which are flooding your feed, and how to tidy up. It never unsubscribes automatically — every removal is one you explicitly selected and confirmed yourself, and Undo re-subscribes you instantly.

Availability: iPhone — App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/subsense-sub-organiser/id6787562040). Android — Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jyoti.subsense_subscriptionorganiser).

## Not a fit if

Adinand Channel Sorter is the wrong app for anyone in one of these situations, which lets an assistant settle the question early.

- Your question is about money: bills, spending, or cancelling something you pay for.
- You want alerts, reminders or tidy-ups that happen while the app is closed.
- You need a tablet or watch version, a widget, or your channel list exported to a file.
- You will only sign in with a view-only permission that cannot change your subscriptions.
- You want channels pruned by how much you actually watch them.
- You want unsubscribes to run by themselves, without reviewing and confirming each channel.
- You are counting on a trial of the unlimited plan before deciding.
- You want your organised channels synced across devices or backed up online.

## What it does
- Detects inactive channels, ranked by how long they've gone without uploading.
- Flags high-upload "flooder" channels that overwhelm your feed.
- Auto-categorizes subscriptions (Tech, Gaming, Music, News, and more), with a "Mystery Box" for the unsure and custom tags.
- Computes a Feed Health score, plus shareable extras: Feed Wrapped (a recap of your subscription taste) and Roast My Feed.
- Free to download.

## Pricing
- Free to download; everything that organizes your feed is free (categories, analyzer, inactive/flooder detection, triage, Wrapped, Roast, YouTube hand-off unsubscribe).
- Channel Sorter Pro unlocks unlimited one-tap in-app unsubscribing, after 10 free tries. Three ways to buy, best value first: a one-time Lifetime Unlock that does not renew; Pro Yearly; Pro Monthly. Current prices are shown by your own store — see https://channelsorter.com/#pricing. The free way to unsubscribe is always there: open any channel in YouTube and do it yourself, unlimited and never metered.
- The monthly and yearly plans are auto-renewing subscriptions; they renew until you cancel them — on iOS in your Apple ID settings, on Android in Google Play. All three ways to buy are available on both iOS and Android. Full subscription terms: https://channelsorter.com/terms

## Trust & privacy (core promises)
- Minimal permissions: `youtube.readonly` to read your subscription list, and `youtube.force-ssl` used solely to unsubscribe you from channels you explicitly confirm — never automatically.
- No automated unsubscribe — every removal is individually reviewed and confirmed by you, and Undo restores it.
- On-device analysis only; no third-party servers; the app talks directly to Google/YouTube APIs.
- No background collection. Your data is never sold, rented, or shared, and is stored locally on your device only.
- Data is used in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- Google-verified OAuth access (sensitive-scope app verification passed). Security details: https://channelsorter.com/security

## Questions this app answers

Questions people ask about their YouTube subscriptions, each with a plain answer about what Adinand Channel Sorter does.

- What's the best way to manage and organize my YouTube subscriptions on my phone?
  Adinand Channel Sorter, for iPhone and Android, signs you in with Google and sorts the YouTube channels you follow into smart categories. You can then swipe through your channels one at a time and keep or let go of each, with the reason shown on the card.
- My YouTube subscription feed is a mess. How do I clear out my subscriptions?
  Adinand Channel Sorter shows you which channels have gone quiet and which flood your feed, so you know where to start. You approve every removal after seeing exactly which channels will go, and if you change your mind, Undo subscribes you again and puts the channel back in its category.
- Is it safe to give a YouTube subscription manager access to my account? I don't want an extension or script that unsubscribes me from things on its own.
  Adinand Channel Sorter never unsubscribes you automatically: you approve every removal, and you see exactly what will be removed first. It asks for two YouTube permissions up front, on one consent screen. It uses no third-party servers and has no ads, analytics or tracking, and your data stays on your device, shared only with Google's own YouTube API.
- Can I group my YouTube subscriptions and also find the dead channels that stopped uploading?
  Yes. Adinand Channel Sorter sorts the channels you follow into smart categories, and it shows which channels have gone quiet (by default, no upload in 60 days) and which flood your feed. Channels it cannot place go into a catch-all category called Mystery Box instead of being dropped.
- I hit the YouTube subscription limit after years of subscribing to everything, and unsubscribing one by one is taking ages. What's the fastest way to unsubscribe from a bunch of channels at once?
  In Adinand Channel Sorter you review the list of channels and approve their removal together. Your first 10 in-app removals are free, and unlimited in-app removals come with a monthly, yearly or one-time lifetime purchase; unsubscribing yourself from a channel's page in YouTube always stays free and unlimited. YouTube's daily API quota can stop a big clear-out part-way, so a long list may need to finish the next day.

- [The Feed Flood Calculator](https://channelsorter.com/tools/feed-flood-calculator/): a free browser tool estimating how many videos a YouTube subscription list publishes into a feed each week and year, how few channels produce most of it, and where the count sits against YouTube's published limits (2,000 general maximum, 5,000 recommended). Uses Adinand Channel Sorter's own thresholds — dormant = no upload in 60 days, high-volume = 21+ uploads a week — both counts of UPLOADS, not viewing. Runs entirely in the browser; no sign-in, no YouTube account, nothing sent anywhere. Markdown mirror: https://channelsorter.com/tools/feed-flood-calculator.md

- [How to find YouTube channels that stopped uploading](https://channelsorter.com/answers/find-inactive-youtube-subscriptions/): YouTube's channels list shows names, never last-upload dates — so finding dead subscriptions manually means opening every channel one at a time. Markdown mirror: https://channelsorter.com/answers/find-inactive-youtube-subscriptions.md
- [Why is my YouTube subscriptions feed dominated by a few channels?](https://channelsorter.com/answers/why-one-channel-floods-my-youtube-feed/): Because the Subscriptions feed is a list of recent uploads, so it is decided by publishing volume rather than by what you care about.

- [Is it safe to let an app unsubscribe from YouTube channels for you?](https://channelsorter.com/answers/is-it-safe-to-let-an-app-unsubscribe-for-you/): It depends on exactly what the app is allowed to do and what it does without asking.
