About Earmode: Audio Only for YouTube

YouTube Audio Mode helps you listen to YouTube while using far less data. It switches matching videos into audio-only playback by lowering video quality, hiding the video player, and showing a clean audio-mode overlay. Use it for podcasts, lectures, music, recitations, long talks, or any video where you care more about listening than watching. Key features: - Three modes: Always On, Filtered, and Off - Filtered mode for saved channels and title keywords - Multi-channel detection for videos credited to more than one channel - Quick-add the current video channel from Settings - Preferred quality restore when audio mode is off - Estimated data usage and savings compared with 720p and 1080p - Custom audio-mode overlay background color - Import and export settings as JSON - English and Arabic interface with RTL support
