About DelayTube
**Tired of falling into YouTube rabbit holes? DelayTube helps you pause and choose.**
DelayTube intercepts impulsive clicks on YouTube videos and automatically adds them to your “Watch Later” playlist — instead of playing them instantly.
🎯 **Use it to:**
- Break the habit of auto-watching one video after another
- Save interesting content for intentional viewing later
- Avoid wasting hours you didn’t plan to spend
🔧 **Features:**
- Intercepts clicks on thumbnails and titles across Home, Search, Subscriptions, Channel pages, and more
- Lets you define **Relaxation Periods** (e.g., Sundays 8–10 PM) where videos play normally
- Page-based toggles for when DelayTube should or shouldn't activate.
Just because something looks interesting doesn’t mean you have to watch it now.
