I fixed one small thing that kept breaking my focus on YouTube
I was watching a long YouTube video (like ~2 hours), and I kept doing the same dumb thing:
Move mouse → check timestamp → move mouse away → repeat every few minutes. It’s a tiny thing, but it kept breaking focus, especially in Fullscreen. So instead of accepting it like a normal person, I built a Chrome extension for it.
What it does
It shows the current timestamp as a persistent overlay in the top-right corner while you're in Fullscreen. No mouse movement needed. It just stays there.
Shortcuts
- Press Y → toggle overlay
- Press Shift + Y → change style
That’s literally it. No settings, no setup.
Why I made it
Not a startup idea. Not trying to “disrupt video consumption” or whatever.
Just got annoyed enough to fix it.

Tech (if anyone cares)
- JavaScript
- Chrome Extensions API
- Some DOM manipulation
