About Eavesdrop

Stop scrolling away from the video to read the comments. Eavesdrop puts YouTube comments in a floating glass panel right on top of the player, so you can watch and read at the same time — in normal, theater and fullscreen mode. WATCH AND READ AT THE SAME TIME • A floating panel over the video: drag it anywhere, resize it, snap it to a corner, or minimize it to a small bubble. • Adjustable opacity: see more of the video behind the panel, or make it solid. • Auto-scroll: comments scroll by themselves while you watch. One click pauses it. • Replies open inline, and you can hide them again. COMMENTS THAT FOLLOW THE VIDEO • Comments about this moment: see what people say about the exact part you're watching. • Community index: the moments people mention most, one click away. • Clickable timestamps: "3:45" in a comment jumps the video right there. • New since your last visit: jump straight to comments posted after you last watched. FIND WHAT MATTERS • Search the loaded comments and sort them by likes. • Mute words: comments with words you choose are blurred (great for spoilers), with a button to reveal them. • Optional quick filters: only comments with timestamps, or only the most liked. SAVE, ORGANIZE AND SHARE • Save comments with one click 🔖, grouped by video. • Add personal notes and tags, and search through them. • Export to Markdown, CSV or JSON — perfect for Notion, Obsidian or a spreadsheet. • Share any saved comment as a beautiful image, ready for social media or chats. • Export the comments you've loaded as a file. MAKE IT YOURS • Dark, light or system theme, five accent colors and three text sizes. • English and Spanish, following your Chrome language by default. • Turn any panel feature on or off. • A short guided tour the first time you open it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. • Comments come from YouTube's official, public Data API. • Your settings and saved comments stay in your browser. Eavesdrop has no servers. • A "Network activity" screen in Settings shows every request Eavesdrop makes. FREE AND PRO Everything above is free. Pro removes the limits on saved comments and exports (Free: 3 saved comments, 50 comments per export) with a one-time purchase — no subscription. Eavesdrop is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
