About

Never lose your place on YouTube again.

Playback Buddy automatically resumes YouTube videos from where you stopped watching — even after you close the browser or restart your computer. No manual bookmarks. No buttons to click. Just open YouTube and keep watching.

🔹 Automatic tracking — Keeps track of your progress in each video.
🔹 Seamless resume — Updates the video URL to start where you left off.
🔹 Works behind the scenes — You won’t even notice it until you need it.
🔹 Privacy-respecting — Your video progress is stored only in your browser.

Whether you're watching tutorials, lectures, or a playlist of cat videos, Playback Buddy ensures you never waste time trying to remember where you were.

⚙️ How it works

It tracks the current video and playback time while you watch.

If you close the tab or browser, the time is saved.

When you open the same video again, it automatically resumes from that point.

🛡️ Privacy & Permissions

Playback Buddy only stores video timestamps locally.

It requires access to YouTube tabs and local storage to do its job — nothing more.

🧪 Works with:

YouTube.com (including youtube.com/watch)

Chrome and Firefox browsers

🎯 Lightweight. Invisible. Reliable.
