YouTube Autopilot

YouTube Autopilot is an intelligent browser extension that automates your daily YouTube routine: automatically likes videos you enjoy, cleans up your cluttered "Watch Later" playlist, and saves videos based on your custom rules.

Unlike simplistic extensions that like videos immediately upon opening the page, YouTube Autopilot analyzes genuine video playback: tracking continuous viewing intervals, playback rate (1x–2x), pauses, tab activity, and timeline seeking behavior.

• ⏱ Smart Real Watch Tracking: Our interval-merging algorithm counts only actual seconds spent watching. If you pause, switch to another application, or mute a background tab, fake viewing time is never counted.

• ⚡ Fast-Forward & Seek Modes (Auto-Like at 90%): Prefer watching videos in chunks (intro → highlights → conclusion)? Enable timeline seek mode: as soon as the video scrubber crosses 90%, your Auto-Like rule triggers seamlessly.

• 🎯 No-Code Rule Engine: Build powerful "IF → WHEN → THEN" automations tailored to your habits:

• Auto-like when watch percentage reaches 90%
• Automatically remove videos from "Watch Later" once finished
• Filter by video duration, specific channel names, or exclude YouTube Shorts
• Configurable pre-action delay to prevent premature execution

• 📌 Native In-Player Overlay: A sleek, unobtrusive pill widget integrated right inside YouTube's control bar next to the time display. Shows your current watch percentage, exact time spent, and next scheduled action. Hovering reveals a modern progress card with real-time stats.

• 🛡 Flexible Operation Modes:

• Automatic Mode: Silent, seamless background execution when conditions are met.
• Approval Mode: Displays a clean interactive prompt ("Allow" / "Skip") on the video before performing any action.

• 📊 Built-in Analytics Dashboard: A dedicated full-screen management interface: lifetime statistics, complete watch history with search, execution logs, and one-click automation presets.

1. Real Watch Time (Strict): Counts only uninterrupted playback seconds. Perfect for viewers who want actions to trigger strictly after genuine, attentive watching.
2. Timeline Position (Seek-Friendly): Tracks the maximum point reached on the timeline. Auto-likes trigger even if you skip through the video to the 90% mark.
3. Hybrid Mode (Recommended): Triggers when the timeline reaches 90%, provided you have genuinely watched at least 15% (or 30 seconds) of the video, protecting against accidental clicks.

• Local Storage Only: All watch progress, stats, and custom rules reside entirely on your device in browser IndexedDB. • Zero Telemetry: No tracking pixels, no third-party analytics, and zero external network calls. • No Credentials Needed: Works purely through client-side DOM interaction without requiring your Google or YouTube account credentials. • Mozilla AMO Compliant: Completely free of unsafe innerHTML assignments, built strictly according to web security standards.

• storage: Saves your preferences, rules, and local viewing history. • activeTab: Inspects playback status and manages the player widget. • https://.youtube.com/: Required to detect playback events and execute your configured actions (Like, Save, Remove).
