What is the Qefy web app?

Qefy is a web app for organizing videos, podcasts, courses, and other media links in folders and queues. You use it in the browser on desktop, tablet, or phone. The optional browser extension adds one-click saving from sites you visit.

Do I need the Qefy browser extension?

No. You can add URLs inside the app. The extension is optional and is the fastest way to capture media while you browse without copying links by hand.

How do I add a link or video to Qefy?

Open Add URL link, paste a URL or use the clipboard button, pick a folder (it defaults to the folder you are viewing), and save. You can also press Command+V or Control+V to paste into the focused folder. Qefy then loads details for the item automatically.

Qefy web app tutorial: step by step

1. Sign up and create your workspace

Create a Qefy account, open your workspace, and plan folders by topic, project, or routine so new saves stay organized from day one.

Step 2: Create your account on the sign-up screen

If you are new, choose Create account from the sign-in screen, then complete the sign-up form with your email and password.

2. Understand the default folder system

After you sign in, Qefy shows a fixed set of system folders. Learn what each one is for before you add your own folders.

System folders (always visible in the sidebar):

Recently addedNew saves land here first so you can triage them quickly.

DoneMove finished or watched items here to keep your active queue clear.

TrashRemoved items stay here until you delete them permanently.

These three folders are built in and cannot be deleted. You can still create unlimited custom folders for your own structure.

3. Add media and links to your folders

Save URLs from inside the app so everything lives in one queue—no scattered bookmarks or tabs.

Prefer capturing while you browse? The Qefy browser extension is optional and usually the fastest workflow.

Qefy web app: Add URL to Queue dialog with link field, clipboard, and destination folder

Tap Add URL link to open the add-link dialog. Paste a URL manually or tap the clipboard button to fill from the clipboard in one tap. Choose the destination folder—it defaults to the folder you are focused on. Shortcut: Command+V (Mac) or Control+V (Windows or Linux) pastes a URL directly into the current folder. After you save, Qefy fetches title, artwork, and other details for the link automatically.

4. Use Qefy on phone, tablet, or desktop

Qefy runs in the browser, so you can open the same workspace on a large monitor, iPad, or phone without installing a separate desktop app.
