I opened YouTube for 10 minutes and ended up watching for 2 hours. YouQue gave me one video. I watched it. I closed the app. That felt radical.

How it works
Three steps. Then stop.
01
Pick up to 3 interests.
Tell us what you're into. The more we know, the better we pick.
02
Pick a mood and how much time you have.
Calm, Curious, Focused, Energetic. Quick, sweet spot, or deep dive.
03
We do the thinking.
No menu, no thumbnails. The engine sifts so you don't have to.
What makes it work
Built to respect
your attention.
Feature 01
Mood-aware, not just history-aware.
Most apps feed you what you've already watched. YouQue understands where you are — your energy, your headspace, the hour on the clock — and picks something that fits it.

Feature 02
Gets smarter every session.
We learn your taste from signals, not surveillance. Watch, skip, save — each tap sharpens the pick. Nothing about you leaves your device in clear text.
The social layer
YouQue is solo.
Until it isn't.
YouTube tells you what's popular. YouQue tells you what people whose taste you trust are watching right now.
Showcase
The one video
The one video
you'd hand someone today.
Every YouQue profile pins a single Que to the world. Not a feed of uploads, not a wall of likes — the one thing you're recommending right now.
And the people side of it.
Friend Picks. See what your friends are watching right now — just their current Que, not their history.
Minds Like Yours. YouQue surfaces people whose taste maps to yours. Borrow theirs.
Explore
Trending by taste,
Trending by taste,
not by views.
Three windows: Trending Now, Last 3 Days, This Week. Ranked on what people share, not what gets clicked. The list is small on purpose.
Send a Que
The DM is
The DM is
the video.
No link. No caption. No group-chat noise. Send a Que to a friend and the video lands in the thread, ready to watch.
Questions
The short answers.
Is YouQue free?
Yes. Core YouQue is free — one pick, no scroll. Premium unlocks unlimited live search, deep folders, and more.
How does YouQue pick my video?
You tell us your interests, mood, and how much time you've got. Our engine reads the room and picks one video worth your attention — not ten, not a feed.
Do I need a YouTube account?
No. Videos open in YouTube to watch. You can sign in to YouQue with Google, Apple, or a phone number.
What if I don't like the recommendation?
Skip it. You get another. No algorithm punishing you, no feed to escape.
Is my Que public?
No. Your Que is yours. Share a video when you want to — otherwise it stays private.
Do my friends see my watch history?
Never. What you watch is invisible to everyone, including friends. Sharing is always a choice you make.
Is my data private?
Yes. We don't sell your data. We don't track you across the web. Sign-in runs through Google, Apple, or your phone provider — we only store what's needed to give you good picks.
Will I ever see ads?
No. Free and Premium users will never see ads in YouQue. Down the line, we'll introduce sponsored videos from approved creators — but only on Explore, only matching the interests you've already filtered for, and only if they pass the same quality rules as every other video. No pointless ads, no junk in your recommendation. Just videos you'd actually want to watch.
