Ask for a tool
Every tool on this site exists because somebody needed it. If the one you need is missing, tell us and there is a decent chance we build it.
Optional. We use it to tell you when the tool is live, or to ask a question. Nothing else, and no list.
Free, or on commission
If it is useful to more than one person, we build it free and it goes on this site like the others, with no account and no paywall. That is not generosity: a tool people search for brings people here, which is the entire business model of this site. Your idea is worth more to us than a fee.
If it only makes sense for you, because it plugs into your spreadsheet, your channel, your workflow, then it is a job rather than a page, and we can quote it. Tick the box above and say roughly what you need. No obligation and no sales sequence, we either agree on something or we do not.
What we can actually build
Worth knowing before you write, so nobody wastes their time.
- Anything the public YouTube data allows. Channels, videos, playlists, comments, tags, statistics, search. That is a wide surface and most requests land inside it.
- Anything that runs in your browser. Calculators, generators, converters, checkers. These are the fastest to build and the cheapest to run, which usually means free.
What we will not build: anything needing your password, anything that scrapes what YouTube deliberately keeps private, anything that would get a channel terminated. If a request lands there we will say so instead of taking the money.
⚠️ To be straight about it, because both things are on this site: the four paid pages sell promotion that YouTube's own policies prohibit, and each of them says so on the page. The free tools are a different promise and we keep it — they read public data, they need no account, and they cannot get you into trouble. A tool you ask for here is built to that second standard.
What already exists
Have a look first, in case it is already here.
Already live: thumbnails, channel IDs, channel search, tags, channel analytics, posting-time analysis, channel-name ideas, timestamp links, embed codes and playlist length. All free, all without an account.
Questions
Will you actually read this?
Yes. Every request lands as a message on a phone, not in an inbox nobody opens. Whether it gets built depends on how many other people need the same thing, which is exactly what we are trying to find out.
How long does a free tool take?
The simple ones, days. Anything needing a lot of YouTube data is slower, because the free quota YouTube gives us is finite and a tool that burns it would break the other pages. If a request cannot be made affordable, we will say that rather than promise it.
Do I have to leave an email?
No. The request goes through without it. You just will not hear back, and we will not be able to ask you what you meant.
What does a commissioned tool cost?
It depends entirely on what it does, so any number here would be invented. Describe what you need and we will come back with a real one, or tell you honestly that it is not worth building.
