TubeCap — YouTube Tab & Time Limiter

Limit YouTube tabs by count, cumulative video duration, or both. Take control of your time.

TubeCap helps you stay in control of your YouTube watching by enforcing limits you set. **Set your boundaries:** - Limit the number of YouTube tabs you can have open at once (1–50) - Limit the total video duration across all open tabs (5 minutes to 8 hours) - Choose your mode: tab count only, time only, or both **Stay informed:** - Real-time popup dashboard shows your current tab count and total video duration - Color-coded progress bars warn you as you approach your limits - See all open YouTube videos with thumbnails, titles, and durations **Enforced, not just suggested:** - When you exceed a limit, a full-screen overlay blocks the page and pauses video playback - Close a tab or go back to get under your limit **Flexible:** - Pause and resume protection at any time - Manage tabs directly from the popup — switch to or close any tracked video - Settings sync across your Chrome profile **Privacy-first:** - No data collection, no analytics, no tracking - All data stays on your device - Open source: https://github.com/jonnasson/tubecap
