About

Tired of manually pausing your music every time you want to watch a video?

  AutoPause solves this everyday annoyance. When you start playing a video or audio in your active tab, it automatically pauses media playing in other tabs. When you pause or finish watching, your background music resumes right where it left off.

  HOW IT WORKS
  • Play a YouTube video → your Spotify, SoundCloud, or other background music pauses automatically
  • Pause or finish the video → your music resumes
  • No configuration needed - just install and forget

  PERFECT FOR
  • Listening to music while browsing, without audio overlap when watching videos
  • Keeping podcasts paused during video calls
  • Avoiding the awkward moment when two audio sources play at once

  SMART FEATURES
  • Only triggers when the video actually has audio (silent videos won't pause your music)
  • Works with YouTube mini-player - music stays paused while video continues
  • Shows how many tabs are currently paused
  • Manual resume button if needed

  PRIVACY FOCUSED
  • No data collection
  • No external servers
  • Works entirely in your browser

  Simple. Automatic. Just works.
