Neat. In case you want to DIY something similar you can also add YouTube channels to your RSS reader

Out of curiosity. Does this use RSS or is it more like NewPipe? Cause if it's the latter I'm actually surprised that it's allowed in the Mac Store.

Looks crisp!

Also as RSS has been mentioned couple of times already, here's a shell function I use for snatching a feed:

fetch_rss_youtube () {
        CHANNEL_URL="$1" 
        if [ -n "$CHANNEL_URL" ]
        then
                curl -s "$CHANNEL_URL" | grep -Po '<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/\K.*?(?=">)' | xargs -I@ echo 'https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=@' | wl-copy
        fi
}
