Already watched this YouTube video? yout-pass tells you and moves on: a short notice for videos, an instant skip for Shorts.

Ever opened a YouTube video only to realize you've already seen it? yout-pass remembers what you've watched and, when it comes up again, tells you and moves on. ■ Videos Open a video you've already watched and a notice appears; a few seconds later you're taken back to where you came from. The video keeps playing meanwhile, so if you want to keep watching, just click "Keep watching". ■ Shorts Already-watched Shorts are skipped straight to the next one. New Shorts move on when they end instead of looping forever. Scroll back up and nothing is skipped — rewatch whenever you like. ■ Filter feeds before you click Watched videos on Home, Subscriptions and search results are dimmed and labeled "Watched" — or hidden entirely. ■ Block or always allow channels Block a channel and its videos are skipped even if you've never seen them, and hidden from feeds and search. Mark channels you rewatch as "always allowed" — they're recorded but never skipped. ■ Music stays Videos that YouTube tags with song and artist info are never skipped, however many times you play them. Or turn that off and allow only your favorite artists. ■ Player badge and history page A small badge on the player shows whether you've watched the video; click it to allow the video or delete its record. Search, filter and sort everything you've watched — anything opened from there plays without being skipped. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What counts as "watched"? Time actually played — pauses, ads and skipped parts don't count. Defaults: 10 seconds for videos, 3 seconds for Shorts. Adjustable in seconds; changes apply to existing records instantly. Videos you watched before installing? Turn on "Import from YouTube watch history" and yout-pass reads the progress bars YouTube shows on thumbnails. (Off by default.) Never skipped Videos inside playlists (configurable), live streams, incognito windows, and videos opened from the history page.
