A library of working knowledge, curated by people who know.
Trove is a hand-curated library of short and long videos for working professionals. Signed playlists from named curators — not feeds, not algorithms, not another “watch later” graveyard.

The problem
You don't need more videos. You need someone with taste.
01 / DOOMSCROLL
The algorithm pulls you sideways. You meant to learn pricing. Two hours later, podcast clips.
02 / DEAD BOOKMARKS
Your “Watch Later” has 412 videos. You'll get to it. You won't.
03 / GENERIC LISTS
“Top 10 negotiation videos” — ranked by SEO, not by anyone who has negotiated anything.
What makes Trove different
Three things, on purpose.
Trove isn't trying to be a feed. It's a library — with the curators on the cover.
Human curators, signed.
Every playlist carries the name of the person who built it — their background, their picks, their reasoning. No anonymous “recommended for you”.
Verified curator badge
One library. Four platforms.
YouTube's depth, TikTok's velocity, Vimeo's craft, Bilibili's breadth — stitched into a single playlist. Each video opens in its native app.
Native playback, no host
For work, not for kill-time.
Playlists organise around real skills — negotiation, system design, personal finance, design systems — not entertainment niches or trending audio.
Built for 25–40 working pros

Watch in the right app.
Tap a video, Trove opens the original app on your phone. We don't host, re-encode, or hide ads from creators.
The people behind the picks
Curators with a day job in the thing they're curating.
We don't hire “content creators”. We invite operators — engineers, designers, founders, traders, therapists — to publish the playlist of videos that taught them their craft.

Curator #4
Coming soon
Your name here. We're inviting one more operator before launch.

// Names & bios are placeholders — real curator roster to be announced before launch.
Does Trove host the videos?
No. Each video opens in its original platform — YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, or Bilibili — in the official app on your phone. Creators get the views, the ad revenue, and the analytics.
Is it free?
Yes. The full library is free at launch. An ad-free / offline-queue premium tier will come later, but the curated playlists themselves stay free.
iOS or Android?
Both, launching together. India first — App Store and Play Store badges go live the same day.
How are playlists chosen?
By a named curator with domain experience — not an algorithm, not crowd-voting, not “trending” signals. Every playlist carries the curator's bio and reasoning.
What about creators? Do they earn anything?
Yes — whatever they already earn on their platform. We send views to YouTube / Vimeo / TikTok / Bilibili. We don't intercept ads or scrape content.
Will you add more platforms?
Probably. We're starting with the four that working professionals actually use for skill-building. If a fifth makes the cut, we'll add it.
Get the first 12 playlists in your inbox.
We'll email once when Trove opens in your store — iOS and Android, together. No drip, no upsell.
