About

Ysum helps you focus on valuable YouTube content by filtering out distracting or clickbait videos. The extension analyzes video metadata (title and description) and displays a usefulness score (0–100) directly on the video thumbnail or video page. This gives you a clear signal about whether the video is worth your time before you start watching.

How it works:
Install the extension and log in to your account.
Open YouTube. Badges will appear on video thumbnails and video pages.
Use the score to decide whether to watch or skip.

Who it’s for:
Students and researchers learning from YouTube
Professionals seeking only high-value content
Anyone looking to reduce procrastination and distractions

Why it’s useful:
Prevents wasting time on low-quality or irrelevant videos
Reduces endless scrolling and decision fatigue
Helps prioritize videos that align with your goals

Future updates will include the ability to click a badge to view a video transcript, generate a personalized summary, and export useful content to tools like Notion or Obsidian.
