MyVidLog

About MyVidLog

MyVidLog logs your YouTube title, thumbnail and description changes, shows how each video performed afterwards against your channel baseline, and adds rival tracking and preparation tools around that record.

Who is it for?

  • Independent YouTube creators who edit titles and thumbnails after publishing and want a record of what changed and what happened next.
  • Small channels working towards YouTube Partner Program thresholds.
  • Creators who watch a handful of rival channels and want to know when one of their uploads is running above its usual.
  • Not built for agencies managing many channels, or for keyword-volume research.

How the data works

You sign in with Google and connect your YouTube channel with read-only access. MyVidLog reads your channel, videos and analytics through the official YouTube APIs. It cannot publish, edit or delete anything on YouTube; you copy suggestions into YouTube Studio yourself.

Figures refresh on a schedule, not in real time. YouTube Analytics data such as subscribers gained per video can lag by a few days.

Rival, League, Compare, Insights and World Stats features use public YouTube figures only, which YouTube may round or abbreviate.

History begins when capture begins

MyVidLog stores snapshots of your videos from the time you connect. Changes are logged from that point onwards, either detected automatically or annotated by you.

Earlier title or thumbnail history is not reconstructed. YouTube does not provide a history of past edits, so MyVidLog will not invent one.

Your private data versus public rival data

For your own connected channel, MyVidLog can use private YouTube Analytics that only you can see, such as subscribers gained and lost per video.

For any other channel, only public numbers are available: subscribers, views and upload dates. Rival comparisons are therefore based on public views measured against that channel's own typical uploads, not on their private Studio data.

How comparisons are made

Change Log compares a video's performance after an edit with your channel's usual baseline. Rival Radar and Insights compare an upload with the same channel's similar or typical videos. These are descriptive comparisons, not controlled experiments.

Limitations

  • No keyword search-volume data. Title 'search appeal' is an AI judgement on wording, not YouTube search evidence.
  • Correlation, not causation. A change followed by more views does not prove the change caused it.
  • No guarantees of views, click-through, ranking, monetisation acceptance or sponsorship rates. Forecasts and estimates are projections.
  • No history before you connected; past edits are not reconstructed.
  • Read-only access: MyVidLog never posts, replies or edits on YouTube for you.
  • Rival data is public only, and check timing is approximate.
  • AI output (titles, scripts, replies, thumbnails, ideas) is a draft that needs your review.

Frequently asked questions

What is MyVidLog?

A web app for YouTube creators that logs title, thumbnail and description changes and shows how each video performed afterwards against your channel baseline, with rival tracking and preparation tools alongside.

Is MyVidLog free?

Yes, there is a free plan with no card required. It includes Change Log (5 captures a month), Videos, Comments, Channel Audit, Monetization, Chapters, League and more. Starter (£10/month) and Pro (£25/month) add paid tools and higher limits; some AI actions use Vidbit Coins.

Can MyVidLog change my videos on YouTube?

No. Access is read-only. You copy any suggested title, description, chapter list or reply into YouTube yourself.

Can it show title changes I made before I joined?

No. History starts when MyVidLog begins taking snapshots of your channel. Earlier edits are not reconstructed because YouTube does not provide that history.

Does a better result after a title change prove the change worked?

No. Change Log shows what happened after an edit compared with your baseline. Other factors such as seasonality, recommendations or external links can also move views.

Does MyVidLog provide keyword search volume?

No. Titles & Descriptions gives AI judgements on clarity, curiosity and search appeal, but it is not search-volume data and it does not guarantee rankings.

What can I see about rival channels?

Public figures only: subscribers, views and uploads. Rival Radar flags uploads running above that channel's usual, checked roughly every six hours. Private analytics of other channels are never available.

Who is MyVidLog for?

Individual creators and small channels who iterate on packaging and want a reliable record of changes. It is not a multi-channel agency suite or a keyword research tool.
