See exactly how it works
PlaySaver is a smart extension that tracks exactly how much of your life you get back by watching YouTube videos at faster speeds, rewarding you with real-time stats and cloud-synced progress.
Time-Saved Tracking
The extension automatically detects when you watch a YouTube video at a faster playback speed (e.g., 1.5×, 2×) and calculates exactly how much real-world time you save.
- Total Time Saved: A lifetime counter showing total hours and minutes saved since installation.
- Saved Today: A daily counter that resets every midnight.
Live YouTube Overlay
While watching at a faster speed, a sleek, non-intrusive popup overlay sits on the YouTube video player itself (e.g., +3m 43s saved).
"It gives you a rewarding, real-time visual indicator of the exact time you are getting back by being productive."
Display Mode Controls
Control exactly when you see the popup overlay directly from the dashboard:
- Always On: Stays visible continuously while playing above normal speed.
- Middle & End: Flashes briefly at the 50% mark and at the very end for a distraction-free experience.
- Hidden: Turns off the overlay completely (time is still tracked silently).
Cloud Sync & Account
- Google Sign-In: Safe and secure one-click authentication.
- Cross-Device Sync: Time saved is automatically backed up. Switch computers or reinstall without losing progress.
- Dashboard Access: Quick button taking you to
playsaver.org/dashboardto view deeper stats.
Smart Theming
The extension features a premium UI design that lets you toggle between Dark mode, Light mode, or automatically match your operating system's system settings.
