Meter for YouTube

Track today’s YouTube usage and watch time live, and set an optional daily usage limit.

Meter for YouTube — see how much time YouTube is really taking. Meter for YouTube shows how much time you’ve spent on YouTube today, in real time, at the top-right of the page. Keep the numbers visible to pace yourself, or set an optional daily Usage limit when you want a clear stopping point. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE PAGE A small overlay at the top-right shows two times: 👀 Usage — total time spent on a focused YouTube tab, including browsing, searching, and reading comments 🎬 Watch — time a video is actually playing The gap between them shows how much time went to browsing rather than watching. DAILY USAGE LIMIT Choose hours and minutes while the limit is off, then turn it on to apply your setting. When today’s Usage reaches the limit, playback stops and YouTube is replaced by a quiet break page. The limit resets at local midnight. Turn it off at any time to change the duration or resume using YouTube. TRENDS DASHBOARD Click the toolbar icon to open the popup: • Summary tiles for today’s Usage, today’s Watch, and your daily average Usage • A line chart comparing Usage and Watch across days, so you can see trends and the browsing gap over time • 7, 30, and 90-day range options PRIVACY FIRST Daily totals are stored in your browser and backed up through Chrome sync in your Google account, so your history can survive a reinstall. Theme and daily limit settings stay on this device. Beyond Chrome’s built-in sync backup, the extension makes no network requests and sends nothing to the developer or other third parties. Records older than 90 days are deleted automatically. LANGUAGES & THEME • Follows your browser language automatically, with English and Korean included • Supports light and dark themes on both the overlay and popup; choose Auto to follow your system, or select Light or Dark No separate account, no sign-up, and no ads. Just an honest meter for your YouTube time.
