YoutubeLife

How much of your life will YouTube cost you? YoutubeLife tracks your time on YouTube and turns it into something worth paying attention to — a projection of how many months or years of your life you're on track to spend on the platform. ───────────────────────────── WHAT IT DOES Every second you spend on YouTube is tracked — whether you're watching videos, browsing Shorts, or just scrolling the feed. YoutubeLife calculates your running daily average and extrapolates it across your remaining lifespan to show you a real projection of your lifetime usage. The more you use it, the more accurate it gets. ───────────────────────────── FEATURES • Lifetime projection — see how many months or years of your life you're on track to spend on YouTube, based on your running daily average. • Daily average at a glance — the collapsed on-page pill shows your average daily YouTube time under the projection, using the same styling as the “Lifetime projection” label. • On-page overlay — a clean, unobtrusive pill sits in the corner of every YouTube page. Click it to expand a full usage breakdown. • Tracks what matters — separates time spent watching videos, watching Shorts, and scrolling, so you know exactly how your time is being used. • Daily, weekly, monthly & yearly stats — view your usage across any time period with a single tap (Day / Week / Month / Year tabs in the expanded overlay). • Personalised projection — set a starting age and life expectancy so remaining years (and the projection) match how you want to model your lifespan. • Dark & light mode — matches your preference (toggle in the extension popup). • Resets automatically — daily at midnight, weekly on Sunday, monthly on the 1st, yearly on January 1st. All in your local timezone. ───────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS YoutubeLife runs quietly in the background whenever you visit YouTube. A small overlay appears in the bottom-right corner of the page showing your projected lifetime usage and your daily average. Click the overlay to expand it and see a full breakdown of your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly stats — split by videos, Shorts, and scrolling. Open the extension from your toolbar to adjust your settings: set your starting age, life expectancy, theme, or reset all locally stored data. ───────────────────────────── PRIVACY YoutubeLife stores all data locally on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. No account required. No data is ever shared or sold. ───────────────────────────── YoutubeLife is free to use.
