Control the speed of any HTML5 video — including YouTube Shorts and videos inside iframes. Speed up, slow down, play/pause, and pop any video into real Picture-in-Picture.
- Detects all HTML5 videos on the current page, including Shorts and iframes
- Speed presets (1x, 1.5x) and fine-tune controls (+/- 0.25x)
- Play/pause toggle
- Real Picture-in-Picture - pops the video out into a native OS window, unlike YouTube's built-in "miniplayer" that stays trapped inside the page - It also works for shorts
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts (default: S to slow down, D to speed up) — overrides page shortcuts, fixing issues with YouTube shortcuts not working on non-US keyboards (e.g. French AZERTY MacBooks)
- Speed overlay — shows current speed on the video when using shortcuts
- Remember speed per site — opt-in setting that auto-applies your preferred speed per site. Hostnames are salted + hashed, can't be easily reversed.
- Icon lights up when a video is detected on the page
- Auto-refreshes to catch dynamically loaded videos
