YouTube Tracker - Watch Time & Habit Stats

YouTube Tracker shows you exactly where your YouTube time goes — not just what you watched, but how long, which channels hold your attention, and how much of your time is real watching versus mindless scrolling. It tracks your watch time and browse time automatically, breaks it down by video and by channel, and keeps YouTube Shorts measured separately from regular videos, all while running quietly in the background with nothing ever leaving your device. WATCH TIME vs. BROWSE TIME Most YouTube time trackers just measure time on the site. This one is more precise: ▸ Watch Time only counts while a video is actually playing — it pauses automatically when you switch tabs, pause the video, or minimize the window ▸ Browse Time captures everything else:home feed, search, and Shorts scrolling Now you can see how much of your "YouTube time" is genuine content versus endless browsing. PER-VIDEO, PER-CHANNEL, AND SHORTS BREAKDOWNS Every video and channel is logged automatically, so you always know which channels are eating your day — and YouTube Shorts are tracked as their own category, so you can see exactly how much time Shorts alone are taking. YOUR DASHBOARD ▸ Today — watch time vs. browse time at a glance, daily goal progress, and your top videos of the day ▸ Channels — a donut chart of which channels dominate your watch time, with a ranked list and percentage breakdown ▸ History — stacked bar charts across the last 7 days, 8 weeks, 12 months, or 5 years, so you can track trends over time ▸ Settings — set a daily watch time goal, get notified when you hit it, export your data as JSON or CSV, or reset anytime 100% PRIVATE — NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER, NO TRACKING All data stays on your device. Nothing is ever sent to a server, there's no sign-up, no ads, and no third-party analytics. Export your data anytime with one click — it's yours.
