YouTube Playback Plox is a userscript that automatically remembers the exact point where you left off in a YouTube video, so you can resume it later without needing an account or logging in.
- Absolute Privacy - For those who don't want to depend on YouTube's history. No Google account required.
- Persistent Memory - For those who use browsers with blockers or without persistent history.
⚠️ Warning: Clearing "Cookies and site data" in your browser will permanently delete all saved video progress. Always export your data first when using this option!
- Cloud Sync Capabilities - Sync between devices through GitHub using Private Repositories or Secret Gists.
Requirements: You need a script manager extension installed in your browser.

- 🔐 100% Private and Local: Works without a Google account; everything is stored locally using
IndexedDBin your browser. - 🕒 Smart Auto-Save: Automatically saves the time and resumes from that point when you return, thanks to context-isolated detectors. Enable tracking individually in the settings for:
Regular VideosMiniplayerShorts(disabled by default)Live streams(disabled by default)Previews on home(disabled by default)
- 🔖 Manual Save Option: Save the current playback time by pressing a button whenever you want.
- 🛑 Anti-Ads: Prevents the saving of times and false plays during ads. (The script does not block ads. Use uBlock Origin to block ads).
- ⚡ Fast Performance: Uses "Virtual Scrolling" in the saved videos modal to instantly handle lists of thousands of videos without consuming additional memory.
- 🔔 UI Notifications: Native and discreet messages in the player bar that show when a video is being resumed or saved.
- Advanced Video Manager: Complete modal with playlists, preloaded thumbnails, authors, percentages viewed, and remaining time.
- ⏱ Set a "fixed start time" per video to always start from a predictable point (ideal for skipping intros).
- 📦 Export/Import your backup to JSON or SQLite databases (100% compatible with FreeTube).
- 🔍 Advanced Filters: Filter videos by:
title,author,type,duration,date,percentage viewed,remaining time, and more. - 🔀 Create public YouTube
playlistson the fly from your viewed videos. - 🔗 Unlink videos from arbitrary playlists in just 1 click.
- 🛡 Set a "protected" state to prevent videos from being accidentally deleted.
- ☁️ Cloud Sync Option: Sync your saved videos with your GitHub account, either through Gist (Secret) or Repository (Private). (Can be enabled in the configuration, disabled by default)
Settings and UI are fully translated into 50+ native languages.
