We just launched YouTube Recent Search on RecentReborn. You can now search any keyword and see the most recently uploaded videos on YouTube.

Why we built this

YouTube recently removed the "Last Hour" filter from their platform. For many of us, that filter was the only way to find breaking news, live event coverage, or niche content before it went viral. We decided to bridge that gap. Whether you are a creator tracking trends or a user looking for real-time updates, you can now find that content again.

Why did Youtube remove this filter? Read more about it here.

How it works

When you enter a search query in the RecentReborn app, you will see a new tab for YouTube. The default setting is filtered to show videos uploaded within the last hour.

If you need a broader view, you can easily toggle the time filters:

  • Today

  • This Week

  • This Month

  • This Year

Try it out yourself

Why this matters for you

Just like with our Instagram hashtag tool, our goal is to give you back the control that platforms have taken away. You shouldn't have to wait for an algorithm to decide a video is "worthy" of your time. Now, if someone uploaded a video two minutes ago, you'll be the first to know.

About the Author

Felix Melchner

I built RecentReborn because Instagram’s decision to hide recent posts made it impossible to find real people and small creators who are not already famous. My vision for 2026 is to restore the original soul of social media by giving everyone a fair chance to be discovered and supported through chronological search.
