Video speed, PiP & skip

Features & Capabilities

Control playback, speed (& more) of web videos in Safari - with this clever web extension.

The Vidimote upgrades for your video watching experience:

• SPEEEED: watch videos at up to 2 x original speed, finely adjustable in 5% steps. Save time watching videos - without missing out on any content. Or watch a live stream's recorded part at increased speed - until you're "back to live".

• CONTROL: jump ±10 seconds, use the position slider and - of course - play and pause.

• SKIP: quickly skip to the end of a video you don't want to see

• ACTUAL TIME REMAINING: see how much actual time remains to the end of the video - adjusted to the playback speed.

• LIVE STREAM CLOCK: see the approximate clock time for your current position in the live stream, making it really easy to find f.ex. the beginning of a show.

• PICTURE IN PICTURE (PiP): move web videos to picture in picture - and continue watching while using other apps.

• FULLSCREEN: enlarge web videos to fullscreen.

• MUTE/UNMUTE: mute and unmute web videos.

SUPPORTED WEBSITES

Vidimote was written and designed to work with HTML5 web videos everywhere - and in our testing it has, including the websites of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, TED.com, Udemy, Khan Academy, MagentaTV, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, ownCloud, Nextcloud, Dropbox, Amazon Drive, Google Drive and OneDrive.

Given the sheer number of websites out there, however, we can't guarantee that Vidimote works with every single web video out there. If you run into a video where it doesn't work, please let us know via our website's contact/support form.

User Reviews

Vidimote for Safari offers intuitive playback controls, speed customization beyond 2x, and strong PiP integration, making it easier to control videos in Safari and even skip ads. Users appreciate its ease of use and reasonable price, with responsive developer support. However, AirPlay issues, video dimming when controls appear, and inconsistent fullscreen behavior are recurring drawbacks. Some users also want keyboard shortcuts and customizable skip intervals. Overall, the app is useful but reliability and feature gaps limit its appeal for some users.

Pros

Intuitive, user-friendly interface with smooth playback controls (speed, skipping, navigation) integrated into Safari.
Ability to customize playback speed beyond 2x for flexible viewing (eg. podcasts).
Safari Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support with playback controls, enabling control without leaving the browser UI.
Ad-skipping capability and cleaner fullscreen viewing, focusing on video content.
Responsive developer support and good value for the price.

Cons

AirPlay support is unreliable or missing (audio-only casting reported, or AirPlay button absent).
Video dims or darkens when the extension’s controls are shown, distracting from playback.
Full-screen playback can revert to the default player or behave inconsistently.
Perceived overprice or value mismatch; several users feel the price is too high.
Missing keyboard shortcuts and inability to customize skip intervals (eg. 3-second jumps).
