Vantage for YouTube

The complete YouTube
enhancer. Actually free.

Speed control, Focus Mode, timestamped notes, transcript export and screenshots — one clean panel, no account, no premium tier, nothing leaves your machine.

FREE · NO ACCOUNT · NO TRACKING · LOCAL-FIRST
Focus

Just the video. Nothing else.

One toggle hides recommendations, comments, end screens, Shorts and the homepage feed. Every distraction has its own switch — including hover-preview autoplay and opening Shorts in the normal player.

Notes

Watch, then remember.

Timestamped notes tied to the second, searchable across every video. Export to Markdown, build a study pack, or grab the full transcript as TXT, Markdown or SRT — with one-click "copy for AI".

Play

Total playback control.

Speed presets and fine control, mouse-wheel gestures, volume boost with night-mode audio, cinema and wide player, per-channel auto-speed, resume where you left off.

Tools

The power-user kit.

Screenshots with burned-in timestamps, A→B section loops, sleep timer, audio-only mode, optional community sponsor skipping, and one-file backup of everything.

Keys

Keyboard-first, remappable, and honest about privacy.

Every shortcut can be rebound — press ? anywhere on YouTube for the cheat sheet. Everything Vantage knows lives in your browser. There is no server, no account and no analytics; the optional sponsor-skip feature is the only network call it can make, and it's off until you turn it on. Read the two-minute privacy policy →

Goodwill-powered

Free forever. Fuelled by coffee.

Vantage has no paywall and never will. If it earns a spot in your day — a coffee is the difference between a side project and a maintained one.
