This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
I'm a bit obsessive about productivity - YouTube was always my blind spot. So, I built YouTube TimeWatcher - it's a small pill located in YouTube's top bar, next to the bell icon. What makes it different: - Embedded in YouTube's UI - not a popup or separate dashboard - 100% local - no account, no servers, nothing leaves your browser - Smart channel exclusions - music auto-excluded; one click to override Tracks channels you've watched each day. No popups, no notifications, no nagging.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built YouTube TimeWatcher because I kept losing track of how much time I was spending on YouTube. I wanted something that actually looks visually appealing and showed per-channel weekly stats, not just a daily total.
The pill in the masthead was the key idea: ambient, always visible. You don't have to go anywhere to check - it's just there.
A few things I'd love feedback on:
- Is the channel exclusion UX intuitive enough?
- What stats would you want to see that aren't there yet?
