SpeedHold: Hold to Speed Up

About

Speed through the slow parts without losing your focus.

Standard video speed controls are clunky. Clicking through settings menus just to get past a long pause, a slow intro, or a tedious section disrupts your viewing experience. SpeedHold provides a seamless, practical solution to this problem with a dead-simple mechanic: Hold to hurry. Release to return.

Whether you are skimming a lecture, watching a tutorial, or just trying to get to the good part, SpeedHold gives you on-demand momentum without ever having to touch your mouse.

✨ Key Features
•⚡ Instant Acceleration: Press and hold your chosen hotkey to immediately jump to your preferred fast-forward speed.
•🛑 Seamless Snap-Back: Release the key, and the video instantly drops back to normal speed. No fumbling to change it back.
•⚙️ Fully Customizable: Set your ideal "Hold Speed" (e.g., 2x, 2.5x, 3x) and choose the exact hotkey that feels most comfortable for your workflow.
•🌐 Universal Compatibility: Works smoothly across standard HTML5 video players on your favorite sites.
•🪶 Lightweight & Fast: Built for pure performance, it runs quietly in the background without slowing down your browser.
