Cadence — Per-Channel Speed & Playlist Stop for YouTube

Per-channel YouTube playback speeds, full-width speed & skip deck, Shorts-to-Watch conversion, and end-of-video playlist stop.

Cadence is the ultimate YouTube playback speed controller. Set automatic per-channel speeds, navigate with a full-width below-video control deck, convert Shorts into standard player videos, and stop playlist autoplay when videos end. Tired of manually adjusting video speed every time you switch between music, podcasts, tutorials, and gameplay? Cadence remembers your preferred playback speed for every YouTube channel and locks it in automatically. ► KEY FEATURES ★ Automatic Per-Channel Playback Speeds Set custom speeds from 0.25× to 4.0× per channel (e.g., 1.0× for Music, 1.5× for Tutorials, 2.0× for Podcasts). Cadence applies your saved speed within milliseconds on page load and video transitions. ★ Clean Below-Video Transport Deck A full-width, 3-row control bar mounted cleanly above the video title without cluttering YouTube's native buttons: • Quick speed presets (0.75×, 1.0×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75×, 2.0×) and ±0.05× fine steppers • 10s, 30s, and 60s Replay & Skip Ahead capsules • Real-time remaining duration calculated at your current speed • Real-time wall-clock time saved tracker ★ Convert Shorts to Standard Player Automatically rewrites YouTube Shorts links to standard /watch?v= URLs with a full timeline scrubber, speed controls, and normal player controls. ★ End-of-Video Playlist Stop Prevents unwanted autoplay in Watch Later, Mixes, and creator playlists. Cadence pauses playback right as the video finishes, displaying a clean Replay / Play Next bar while preserving manual next-video hotkeys (Shift+N). ★ Live Stream & Live DVR Support Detects live broadcasts, clamps speed at the live edge, and provides dynamic catch-up acceleration for live stream DVR buffers. ★ Ad-Pause Protection Playback speed and skip controls automatically lock during ads and restore your configured channel speed the moment the video resumes. ► PRIVACY & SECURITY FIRST • 100% Local Storage: Channel rules stay on your device in chrome.storage.local • Zero Data Collection: No telemetry, no analytics, no remote tracking • Minimal Permissions: Requires only 'storage' and 'scripting' • Backup & Restore: Export and import your channel rules as clean JSON anytime ☕ SUPPORT CADENCE Cadence is free, open-source, and ad-free.
