PreWatchr for YouTube by jucofuco

Stop wasting time on videos you won't even finish. PreWatchr summarizes any YouTube video before you open it, so you know in seconds if it's worth watching.

✨ The Problem

You click a 20-minute video, watch 5, and realize it's not what you needed. PreWatchr lets you preview the content first — no more guessing from a thumbnail and a title.

🚀 How to Use

1. Browse YouTube normally
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+X (Mac: Control+Shift+X)
3. Click any thumbnail (don't open the video)
4. Read the instant summary

📊 What You Get

• Main Topic — one-sentence overview
• Key Points — 3-4 most important takeaways
• Conclusion — quick wrap-up
• Title Accuracy — is the title clickbait, or does it deliver?
• Summaries in 16 languages (English, Spanish, French, German, and more — pick yours in the popup)
• Copy button to save summaries, plus a running count of your total summaries

💡 Perfect For

Students scanning lectures, professionals screening webinars, researchers filtering through dozens of videos, creators checking competitors — anyone tired of clickbait and 20-minute videos that could've been a paragraph.

🔒 Privacy First

• No account required
• No personal data collected
• Summary count stored locally in your browser
• Secure HTTPS connections throughout

📝 Note

Requires the video to have captions/subtitles (most do). Videos without captions can't be summarized.
