TubeCap — YouTube Tab & Time Limiter

About

TubeCap helps you stay in control of your YouTube watching by enforcing limits you set.

**Set your boundaries:**
- Limit the number of YouTube tabs you can have open at once (1–50)
- Limit the total video duration across all open tabs (5 minutes to 8 hours)
- Choose your mode: tab count only, time only, or both

**Stay informed:**
- Real-time popup dashboard shows your current tab count and total video duration
- Color-coded progress bars warn you as you approach your limits
- See all open YouTube videos with thumbnails, titles, and durations

**Enforced, not just suggested:**
- When you exceed a limit, a full-screen overlay blocks the page and pauses video playback
- Close a tab or go back to get under your limit

**Flexible:**
- Pause and resume protection at any time
- Manage tabs directly from the popup — switch to or close any tracked video
- Settings sync across your Chrome profile

**Privacy-first:**
- No data collection, no analytics, no tracking
- All data stays on your device
