YouTube client similar to a podcast client - Does it exist?

Hey guys/gals/bots!
I'm trying to find a self hosted app that would function like a
podcast client does... e.g. it has a list of channels subscribed to,
sees a new release, downloads it, and prunes stuff that's beyond "X"
days old.

What I'm trying to solve is using my exported YouTube subscriptions
CSV to do the same. So when I get home from work, all the new videos
are already downloaded and can be viewed (then pruned) without
streaming.

Trying to search for something like this is bringing up a ton of stuff
that is tangentially related at best.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Search for youtube in the awesome-selfhosted list from the sidebar,
and simply search youtube in this entire subreddit, easy to find a few
things to try.

I've seen a ton of stuff which grabs entire channels, grabs specific
videos, etc. but nothing that grabs the latest "X" videos, and
automatically deletes stuff that is watched or beyond a certain age.

Okay...

I think that Tubearchivist will delete watched.
