About

ZapTube is a Chrome extension that helps users manage YouTube consumption more effectively.

Features include AI-powered video summaries (so you can decide what's worth watching before clicking), algorithm interrupt screens (to break autoplay loops), chat directly with video content to ask questions, and time-saved tracking. Export transcripts and summaries as TXT, PDF, DOCX, or HTML for use with other AI tools. The homepage experience lets you preview and triage videos before committing to watch. Comment insights reveal what the community is saying without endless scrolling. The extension uses a reward system to reinforce intentional viewing habits.

Built by an independent developer frustrated with losing productive hours to YouTube's recommendation algorithm.

• Get instant AI-powered summaries of any YouTube video
• Chat directly with video content - ask questions and get answers
