FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Channel Saver?

A Chrome extension for YouTube research. It adds niche research, outlier scores, similar channels, competitor tracking, a swipe file and a thumbnail tester to youtube.com, plus a dashboard for everything you save.

How do I get an activation key?

Message Asif on Facebook — press “Talk to Asif” on this page. You get a key like LR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX; enter it in the extension and press Activate.

Can I use one key on two computers?

No — one key works on one computer. After an update or a reinstall the same key works again on the same computer. If you change computer, ask Asif to move the key.

Does it log in to my YouTube account?

Never. It reads public YouTube pages. The reply helper writes replies to the comments you tick; you press Reply, or turn on “Send for me” and it presses Reply for you — slowly, with varied texts.

Where is my data kept?

Your saved channels, niches and notes stay in your own Chrome, with an automatic backup file every 12 hours in your Downloads folder. Read the Privacy Policy.

Do I need an AI key?

No. AI is optional. If you want AI thumbnail reviews, title ideas and niche analysis, add your own key (Gemini has a free tier; OpenRouter, Openlux and Yunwu work too).

Does it work on Brave or Edge?

Channel Saver is made for Google Chrome. Chromium browsers such as Edge and Brave can usually install Chrome Web Store extensions too.

How do updates work?

Automatically. Chrome installs new versions by itself; your saved channels stay safe.
