What is Auto-Sync?
Auto-sync automatically fetches new videos from your connected YouTube sources at regular intervals. When you upload a new video to YouTube, it will appear in your galleries without any manual action.
Enabling Auto-Sync
Go to Settings in the app
Find the Video Sync section
Toggle Auto-Sync to ON
Select your preferred sync frequency
Sync Frequency Options
Plan | Sync Frequency |
Free | Every 24 hours |
Growth | Every 12 hours |
Professional | Every 6 hours |
Unlimited | Every hour |
Sync Timing: Auto-sync runs in the background. The exact timing depends on when the sync cycle runs, so new videos may take up to the full interval to appear.
What Happens During Sync
When a sync runs, the app:
Checks each source - Connects to YouTube to fetch the latest video list
Identifies new videos - Compares with existing videos to find new ones
Downloads metadata - Gets titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and publish dates
Updates galleries - Adds new videos to auto-sync galleries
Removes deleted videos - If a video was deleted or made private on YouTube, it’s removed from galleries
Manual Sync
You can trigger a sync manually at any time:
Go to Sources
Click on a channel or playlist
Click the Sync button
Manual sync is useful when: - You just uploaded a video and want it to appear immediately - You want to verify your source is connected properly - Auto-sync is disabled but you need occasional updates
Auto-Sync vs Manual Galleries
Auto-sync galleries automatically include all videos from their source. New videos appear after the next sync.
Manual galleries require you to select which videos appear. New videos from the source are NOT automatically added.
Choose auto-sync galleries when you want all videos from a source. Choose manual galleries when you want to curate specific videos.
Disabling Auto-Sync
To disable auto-sync:
Go to Settings
Toggle Auto-Sync to OFF
When disabled: - No automatic syncing occurs - Existing videos remain in your galleries - You can still sync manually when needed
Paused Sync: If auto-sync is disabled for an extended period, your galleries may become out of date. Videos deleted or made private on YouTube will still appear until you run a manual sync.
Sync Status
Check sync status in the app:
Status | Meaning |

Common Questions
Why don’t I see my new video? - Wait for the next auto-sync cycle based on your plan - Or trigger a manual sync to get it immediately - Ensure the video is set to Public on YouTube
Can I sync more frequently? - Upgrade your plan for faster sync intervals - Use manual sync for immediate updates
Does sync use my YouTube API quota? - No, the app uses its own API quota - Your personal YouTube account quota is not affected
