Katto
Followed channels + posting queue

Clip every new YouTube video without opening Katto

Paste your YouTube channel once. Each time it publishes a new video, Katto cuts it into vertical clips on its own. You pick the clips you like, and your posting queue publishes them at the times you chose.

Followed channels: new video in, clips out

Included in paid plans. Add up to 5 channels: your own, or the ones you clip for clients.

New uploads only

Katto only clips videos published after you start following. It never goes back through the channel's archive.

Shorts and lives skipped

Shorts and anything under 60 seconds are ignored. A live stream or a premiere waits until it has finished.

A length cap per channel

Skip videos longer than 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, within your plan's limit, so a 3-hour stream doesn't use your allowance.

Same allowance as a link

Each new video clipped uses 1 video of your monthly allowance. When the allowance runs out, nothing starts; the video is picked up once it's back.

The posting queue: approve once, it posts on time

A Creator feature. Set your slots once, then approving a clip is the only thing left to do.

Your slots, your timezone

Pick the days, up to 12 times a day, and the timezone. A 6 pm slot stays at 6 pm when the clocks change.

Next free slot

Each clip you approve goes into the next free slot on every platform you chose. A slot already holding a post on that platform is skipped.

Approve from the results

Approve straight from a job's clips, or pick a clip from the queue page. The queue lists what's coming up and lets you remove a post.

Your connected accounts

Slots publish to the social accounts you've connected in Katto. TikTok posts go out as private for now, while TikTok's audit of the app is pending.

When you'd rather schedule by hand

The queue fills slots for you. If you want to pick an exact date for one clip, or move posts around on a calendar, the scheduler on the publish page does that, and both share the same connected accounts.

Questions

Which plans include followed channels?

Every paid plan (Solo and Creator) with an active subscription. The posting queue is part of Creator.

Does following a channel clip its old videos?

No. Only videos published after you start following are clipped.

How many channels can I follow?

Up to 5.

Do clips from a followed channel cost anything extra?

No. Each new video clipped uses 1 video of your monthly allowance, exactly like pasting the link yourself.

Can I keep a clip out of the queue?

Yes. Nothing is queued until you approve it, and you can remove an upcoming post from the queue page.

Follow your channel and let the clips come to you
