## Products

- [Playlist Wrangler](https://naxatar.com/products/playlist-wrangler): A free Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extension that makes any YouTube playlist searchable and reshapeable. Scan a playlist once and every video in it is automatically sorted across 34 topics, 100+ music genres, film and TV genres, formats, moods, and 39 languages — no manual tagging, and not a paid upgrade. Then search by title, stack filters (category, channel, length, views, likes, age, language, captions), sort or shuffle, split a huge Watch Later into clean playlists with one-tap undo, save to any playlist from a thumbnail (Quick Add), summarize a video without playing it (Quick Ask, beta), see the like-to-view percentage inline on YouTube, paste a list of video links to import them, and export any view to CSV past YouTube's 5,000-video cap. No YouTube Data API key, no OAuth, no quotas, no account. Works on private and unlisted playlists, Watch Later, and Liked videos, and with multiple signed-in accounts. Manifest V3; Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera (not Arc, which has no side panel). Your index stays in your browser.
- [Playlist Wrangler docs](https://naxatar.com/products/playlist-wrangler/docs): A searchable how-to guide covering every Playlist Wrangler feature — scanning playlists, search and filters, sorting and shuffling, the like-to-view ratio, playing a filtered slice in order, Quick Add, Quick Ask, automatic categories (the full list) and your own, bulk add/move/remove, importing a list of video links, CSV export, sync, multiple accounts, settings and privacy, and troubleshooting.
- [clippal](https://naxatar.com/products/clippal): A net under everything you type and copy on macOS — a searchable history of typed and copied text, plus quick notes, saved images, read-aloud, snippet triggers, and tags. Nothing to file; everything stays on your Mac. The name reads clip · pal — a pal for your clips, where a clip is anything you keep: copied, typed, jotted, or saved as an image. In public beta — invite by email.
- [clippal quick start](https://naxatar.com/products/clippal/start): A visual walkthrough of the six gestures that cover most of clippal: double-tap Option to open the panel, ⌘N to write a clip, tagging and filtering by tag, setting a keyword you can type in any app, ⌘B to bookmark, and dragging a clip into another app — plus what the panel's top chip strip and bottom hint bar are telling you, and ⌥V to preview a paste before it lands.
- [clippal docs](https://naxatar.com/products/clippal/docs): A searchable how-to guide covering every clippal feature — the search panel and its keyboard shortcuts, pasting, multi-select and drag-out, tags, bookmarks and archiving, snippet triggers, read-aloud, privacy and per-app/per-site blocking, typed-text capture, retention, CSV backup and restore, and troubleshooting.
