YouTube Tracker

YouTube watch time tracker — monitor time spent per video, channel, daily & weekly. 100% private, no account needed

See exactly where your time goes on YouTube — not just what you watched, but how long, which channels own your attention, and how much is real watching vs. mindless scrolling. YouTube Watch Time Tracker runs quietly in the background and gives you an honest breakdown of your YouTube habits, right in your browser. ⏱ WATCH TIME vs BROWSE TIME Most trackers just log time on the site. This one is smarter: - Watch Time only counts when a video is actually playing — pauses automatically when you switch tabs, pause the video, or minimize the browser. - Browse Time captures everything else: home feed, search, and Shorts scrolling. Now you can finally see how much of your "YouTube time" is actual content vs. endless browsing. 📺 PER-VIDEO & PER-CHANNEL BREAKDOWNS Every video and channel is tracked automatically, so you always know which channels are eating your day. 🩳 SHORTS TRACKED SEPARATELY Regular videos and YouTube Shorts are detected and measured individually — see how much time Shorts alone are taking. 📊 YOUR DASHBOARD - Today — watch time vs. browse time at a glance, daily goal progress, and your top videos of the day. - Channels — a donut chart showing which channels dominate your watch time, with a ranked list and percentage breakdown. - History — stacked bar charts for the last 7 days, 8 weeks, 12 months, or 5 years, so you can track trends over time. - Settings — set a daily watch goal, get notified when you hit it, export your data as JSON or CSV, or reset anytime. 🔒 100% PRIVATE — NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER, NO TRACKING All data stays on your device. Nothing is ever sent to a server. No sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Export your data anytime with one click — it's yours. ⚡ LIGHTWEIGHT & FAST No background network requests.
