## Description

YT Zero is a self-hosted video subscription manager that fetches public YouTube RSS feeds and stores content locally in SQLite or PostgreSQL. It provides a chronological feed of videos from channels you follow without requiring accounts or exposing users to recommendation algorithms. The software supports multiple isolated profiles for household use, child profiles with watch-time limits, direct streaming playback, optional local video downloads via yt-dlp plugin, channel imports from OPML and Google Takeout, audio-only background playback on mobile browsers, SponsorBlock integration, DeArrow metadata replacement, and TubeArchivist archive connection.
