Skip the Fluff – Skip Sponsors & Intros

AI-powered YouTube assistant that skips intros, sponsors & filler — so you only watch what matters.

Skip YouTube sponsors, intros, outros and filler automatically. Skip the Fluff uses AI to analyse every video, summarise what it covers, and skip the parts that waste your time, so you jump straight to the content you actually came to watch. Works on brand-new uploads and small channels too, because it reads the video itself instead of relying on crowdsourced timestamps. HOW IT WORKS The moment you open a YouTube video, Skip the Fluff reads the transcript in the background. AI classifies every minute of the video as valuable content, intro, outro, sponsor, filler, or anything that matches your own custom skip rules. The results appear in a colour-coded sidebar and on the video timeline — and if you turn on auto-skip, the boring parts disappear automatically. WHAT YOU GET ⚡ Colour-coded progress bar — see exactly which parts of a video are worth watching before you even press play. Green for valuable, amber for sponsors, grey for intros and filler, violet for your custom rules. ⏭ Auto-skip — turn it on and let Skip the Fluff jump past the fluff automatically while you focus on the content. 📝 AI video summary — before you even hit play, see a short, honest summary of what the video actually covers, so you can decide if it's worth your time. 🎯 Custom skip rules — tell Skip the Fluff what else to skip, in your own words. Add up to 5 personal rules (like "skip personal stories" or "skip long recaps"), and they're applied automatically on every video. 📚 Chapter navigation — on videos without captions, Skip the Fluff falls back to the creator's chapter markers so you can still navigate fast. 🔒 Privacy first — your browsing activity is never tracked or sold. Video transcripts are processed only to classify and summarise the video, and are never stored.
