  CleanPlay — Skip sponsors. Watch more. Think less.
  
  YouTube is the world's greatest library of knowledge, entertainment, and creativity. It's also full of sponsor reads, five-minute intros, and subscription reminders you've heard a hundred times.
  
  CleanPlay removes all of it. Automatically. Every video.
  The moment you hit play, CleanPlay pulls skip data from SponsorBlock — the world's largest crowdsourced sponsor database — and silently skips sponsors, self-promotion, intros, outros, and filler the instant they appear. No buttons. No segments to mark. You just watch.
  
  ★ Free plan includes:
  - Automatic SponsorBlock-powered skipping with adjustable categories (sponsors, intros, outros, self-promo, interaction reminders, previews, filler, mid-roll breaks, recaps, and supporter thanks).
  - Detailed statistics tracking skipped segments and time saved in real-time.
  
  ★ Pro plan (Optional subscription) unlocks:
  - AI-Powered Smart Detection: Catch hidden sponsors woven into the narrative, long intros, and mid-video filler.
  - AI Insights: Instantly generate high-quality video summaries and key moment navigation.
  - Sensitivity Controls: Customize AI skip thresholds (Strict, Balanced, Relaxed).
  
  The average YouTube video contains 3–8 minutes of content unrelated to why you clicked play. Over a week, that's 1–2 hours. CleanPlay makes that visible — then makes it zero.
  
  ★ Privacy and Connectivity:
  Your viewing data stays yours. No advertising profiles, no data sales, no browsing history access. Authentication credentials and local statistics are securely encrypted on your device. We request only the permissions we actually use: storage, tabs, activeTab, and alarms.
  
  CleanPlay connects securely to:
  - sponsor.ajay.app (to fetch community skip data)
  - cleanplay.app & cleanplay-backend-4yr7w.ondigitalocean.app (to fetch optional AI summaries/transcripts and sync your Pro account)
  
  Free to install. Upgrade when you're ready at cleanplay.app.

  CleanPlay — Skip Sponsors. Watch More. Think Less.
  
  YouTube is the world's greatest library of knowledge, entertainment, and creativity. But somewhere between "what you came to watch" and the actual content, there's a graveyard of sponsor reads, filler segments, channel plugs, and 5-minute intros that could have been 10 seconds.
  
  CleanPlay fixes that. Silently. Automatically. Every video.
  
  🧹 WHAT CLEANPLAY DOES
  
  CleanPlay is your personal YouTube editor — running invisibly in the background, removing the parts of every video that waste your time, and leaving the parts that don't.
  
  No buttons to click. No segments to mark. You press play, we handle the rest.
  
  The moment you open a YouTube video, CleanPlay gets to work. It pulls community-verified skip data from SponsorBlock — the world's largest crowdsourced sponsor database — and automatically skips sponsors, self-promotion plugs, subscription reminders, and outros the instant they appear. Hundreds of millions of skips verified by real people watching real videos.
  
  For Pro users, CleanPlay goes further: our AI engine reads the full video transcript, understands what's in each segment, and makes smart decisions about what to skip — including content types that SponsorBlock's community hasn't marked yet.
  
  ⚡ FEATURES
  
  FREE — works from the moment you install it:
  ✅ Automatic sponsor skipping powered by SponsorBlock
  ✅ Skip: Sponsors, self-promotion, subscription plugs, outros, interaction reminders
  ✅ Adjustable skip categories — turn individual types on or off
  ✅ Up to 3 AI video analyses per day
  ✅ Track time saved per video
  ✅ Silent operation — no notifications, no interruptions
  ✅ Syncs with your CleanPlay account across Chrome installations
  
  PRO — for people serious about their time:
  🚀 Unlimited AI-powered video analysis
  🚀 AI Chapter Generator — turns any video into navigable chapters
  🚀 AI Q&A Mode — ask questions about a video without watching it
  🚀 Advanced skip accuracy — AI catches what the community misses
  🚀 Detailed weekly stats: segments skipped, hours recovered, videos cleaned
  
  🧠 HOW IT WORKS
  
  When you watch a video, CleanPlay fetches the full transcript in the background. Our AI engine reads through it intelligently — not just looking for keywords, but understanding context and intent.
  
  It identifies sponsors woven into the narrative, long-winded introductions, repeated mid-video calls-to-action, and filler that adds runtime without value. The result is a tighter, cleaner version of every video — served without any visible effort on your part.
  
  For chapters: the AI generates a proper chapter structure with meaningful titles, so you can jump directly to what you need — even on videos with no chapters at all.
  
  For Q&A: ask any question about the video content and get an answer grounded in what was actually said — without scrubbing through the timeline.
  
  📊 YOUR TIME, ACCOUNTED FOR
  
  Every skipped segment gets logged. Every video tracked. Over time, you'll see exactly how many hours CleanPlay has returned to your day — broken down by week, by video, by category.
  
  The average YouTube video contains 3–8 minutes of content unrelated to why you clicked play. Over a week of regular watching, that's 1–2 hours. Over a year — it's significant.
  
  CleanPlay makes that visible. Then it makes it zero.
  
  🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
  
  Your viewing data is yours. CleanPlay does not sell your data, build advertising profiles, or share what you watch with third parties.
  
  Your authentication token is stored locally in encrypted Chrome sync storage using AES-256-GCM encryption. Video transcripts are processed and discarded — not stored. We track aggregate usage to improve the service, nothing more.
  
  We request only the permissions we actually use:
  • storage — save settings and encrypted auth token locally
  • tabs — detect YouTube navigation to activate the extension
  • activeTab — identify the current video to inject the skip engine
  • alarms — silently refresh your session token before it expires
  
  No history permission. No browsing data. No webcam, microphone, or location.
  
  ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
  
  Q: Does it work on all YouTube videos?
  A: Yes. Any video with SponsorBlock community data is cleaned automatically. AI analysis works on any video with a transcript — the vast majority of long-form content.
  
  Q: Will it slow down YouTube?
  A: No. CleanPlay is invisible and lightweight. The skip engine runs only on YouTube video pages. AI analysis runs in the background without affecting playback.
  
  Q: What if a sponsor gets incorrectly skipped?
  A: Toggle individual skip categories on/off from the CleanPlay popup, or pause the extension with one click.
  
  Q: Can I use CleanPlay without an account?
  A: SponsorBlock-powered skipping works without an account. An account is required for AI features, stats tracking, and Pro access.
  
  Q: How do I cancel Pro?
  A: From your dashboard at cleanplay.app — instant cancellation, no forms, no phone calls.
  
  💬 SUPPORT
