A little window. Your kind of focus.

MADE FOR YOUR EVERYDAY
01

Choose your view.

Switch between video with an active caption, captions on their own, or video and a transcript together.

02

Follow every thought.

Follow the current caption, scroll at your own pace, or jump back to the active line. Word highlighting is available when timing allows.

03

Make it feel like yours.

Adjust text size and the video/transcript split. The player remembers your layout preferences.

WORDS THAT KEEP UP

Lose yourself in the idea.
Keep your place in the words.

YouTube captions and standard HTML5 text tracks, close at hand. When a full YouTube transcript is unavailable, the player can fall back to visible captions.

A SIMPLE START

From browser tab to floating window.

  1. Open a supported video.

    Use YouTube with captions or a page with a standard HTML5 video and text track.

  2. Bring it into view.

    Hover a YouTube video and choose Open floating window, or use Alt + Shift + P on a supported page.

  3. Find your flow.

    Choose Video, Captions, or Both. Close the window or use the shortcut again to return the video to its page.

Your channels, in one place.

Open the extension’s side panel to subscribe to YouTube channels and browse their latest videos using public RSS feeds. Subscriptions use Chrome sync; caption processing stays on your device.

Protected videos, canvas players, cross-origin frames, and custom caption renderers may not work. Captions must be available on the source video.
