watchLess
Search inside any YouTube video by asking a question
Hi PH! I'm Amir, solo dev behind watchLess.
I kept running into the same problem watching long YouTube videos. I would want to find the specific moment where someone said something, and the only option was scrubbing through the timeline. YouTube does not search transcript content.
watchLess is a Chrome extension that stays on the YouTube page. There is a search bar directly on the player. Type a question, get the exact answer with a timestamp, click it and the video jumps there.
What it does:
- Natural language search inside any video while you are watching
- AI summaries with key points, action items, and timestamps
- Sidebar lives on the YouTube page, no tab switching
You can try out the search and summary features for as a guest without signing up! Free tier is 3 summaries and 5 searches per day. Pro is $10/month for unlimited.
Just launched on the Chrome Web Store. Would genuinely love to know: does searching while mid-video resonate with how you actually use YouTube, or do you mostly want the summary before deciding whether to watch? Either answer helps.
Thanks for checking it out.
