Telik For Mac

Despite numerous attempts, no service can currently rival YouTube’s popularity and vast content library. There’s a lot of great stuff to be found on the platform, but also a lot of junk and distractions, not to mention Google’s rampant data collection.

Telik is an alternative method of tracking your favorite channels and playlists, one that doesn’t require a YouTube account and makes it easier to keep tabs on what you’re interested in while avoiding other content. It also lets you organize your channels, search for videos, and open them with one click.

YouTube doesn’t offer a lot of tools to manage your subscriptions, and you can’t subscribe to anything without an account. Telik works without one, and it uses tags to help you sort through channels and playlists, along with a quick search function for quickly locating a certain channel or video.

To add a new channel or playlist, you just need to provide their URL. Multiple links can be added at once. You can even export a list of all your channels from your YouTube account. Check the in-app export guide to see how it’s done.

Once you’ve imported everything you need to track, you can add tags to create separate feeds for various types of content. These are easy to set initially, but it would be nice if they could be managed via checkboxes, instead of having to type them all over again when you want to add or remove a tag later on.

To open a video, you just need to click it. The link will be sent to your default browser, either normally, in full screen mode, or full screen mode without cookies. The latter will prevent data collection when opening a video.

Telik is a great way to take advantage of YouTube while minimizing its drawbacks. It lets bypass the platform’s data collection and recommendations, so that you can follow only the channels you’re interested in, even if you don’t have a YouTube account.
