PaceShift

Precise playback speed for any video, up to 16×, with a speedometer dial, shortcuts, and live streams left alone.

Watch at your own pace. PaceShift gives every video on the web a precise speed control that stays out of your way and never quietly fast-forwards a live stream. SPEED, YOUR WAY • Any speed from 0.25× to 16×, on a slider that keeps 1× easy to hit • Click the number to type an exact speed: 1.75, 2x, 150%… • One-click presets you choose yourself • Show speeds as multipliers (1.5×) or percentages (150%) A SPEEDOMETER FOR YOUR VIDEOS Pick the slider that suits you, including a live speedometer dial with a springy needle, a glowing color band and sparks that fly faster the faster you go. Hit top speed and it runs a victory lap. Choose the needle, the band thickness, the number font and colors to make it yours. LIVE STREAMS STAY LIVE PaceShift detects live streams on any site that plays live video, and holds them at 1× so you never drift away from the live edge by accident. Slowing down still works, and you can allow speed-ups per site. REMEMBERS WHAT YOU WANT, WHERE YOU WANT • Global: one speed everywhere • This site: a speed per website • This tab: a speed for one tab only • Temporary: a speed that's never saved MORE CONTROL WHEN YOU NEED IT • On-video controls: skip back, slower, faster, skip forward, right on the player • Hold to go faster: hold a key or the on-video speed for 2× until you let go • Skip back and forward by 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds • Step through video frame by frame • Keyboard shortcuts for everything, remappable in Chrome • Toolbar badge showing each tab's speed at a glance • Turn PaceShift off for a single site, or everywhere DESIGNED WITH CARE Light and dark themes, seven accent colors, smooth motion that respects your system's reduced-motion setting, and a content script light enough to go unnoticed on heavy pages. PRIVATE BY DESIGN PaceShift has no accounts, no analytics and makes no network requests. Your settings stay in your browser. It asks for access to all sites only so it can find and control the videos on the pages you visit.
