What this is
Most YouTube tool sites make you sign up, then meter what used to be free, then email you forever. ytkit is the opposite of that. Each tool is a single page that does its job the moment you land on it.
Where a tool can run entirely in your browser, it does, which means the thing you paste never reaches us and there is nothing on our side to log or leak. The thumbnail downloader works this way: your browser talks straight to YouTube's public image servers.
What is coming next
More tools are being built in this order: a channel search that actually finds small channels, and a video tag extractor. This page will list them as they go live.
