About Savepoint - Pick up where you left off
Savepoint remembers exactly where you left off on any YouTube video — even with watch history turned off.
Many students and learners turn off YouTube watch history to avoid distraction-driven recommendations. It works great, but comes at a cost: YouTube stops remembering where you left off in long videos. Every time you return to a lecture or tutorial, you're hunting for your place manually.
Savepoint fixes that silently and automatically.
HOW IT WORKS
- Saves your playback position every 3 seconds
- Automatically resumes where you left off when you reopen a video
- Shows a red indicator on thumbnails of videos you've started
- Popup shows how many videos are in progress
- Works from the YouTube homepage — no manual reloads needed
PRIVACY FIRST
- Everything is stored locally on your device
- Zero data sent to any server
- No analytics, no tracking, no accounts required beyond YouTube itself
- Each YouTube account's progress is kept private and separate
SMART DETECTION
- Correctly skips ads before resuming your real video
- Automatically clears progress when you finish a video
- Works with playlists, search results, subscriptions, and sidebar suggestions
- Supports multiple YouTube accounts on the same browser
Savepoint is open source. You can read every line of code on GitHub.
