Keep your YouTube viewing progress in Firefox, independent from whichever Google account is active — or use it while logged out. YT re:Watch records meaningful playback locally so you can find watched videos, see progress, and resume unfinished videos. Version 5 adds a complete local browsing companion built around channels you choose to follow in re:Watch.

Resume videos from locally saved playback positions.
See viewed indicators, progress, and available video durations.
Follow channels locally without changing your YouTube subscriptions.

Search saved history and cached feed records without remote YouTube search.
Review channels ignored by a subscription import and restore or forget them.

Explore local watch-time, completion, activity, and channel analytics.
Export and restore supported profile data with JSON backups.
Customize theme, overlay text, color, size, and retention.

re:Watch retrieves public upload feeds for channels you follow locally. Home arranges cached uploads using local viewing and feedback signals. Subscriptions shows the cached inventory chronologically. Both views use stable 50-video pages. Check scans eligible channel feeds. Reload redraws the current local data without starting a scan. Show opens the full chronological subscription inventory. History, progress, local subscriptions, feed state, analytics, settings, and playlist references are stored in the current Firefox profile. YT re:Watch does not operate an account system or cloud-sync service. Direct public RSS and channel-metadata requests omit browser credentials. Displayed thumbnails and channel artwork may load from YouTube-owned image hosts. The extension does not use OAuth in version 5, perform remote search, or change subscriptions, playlists, or history in your YouTube account. YT re:Watch is not an anonymity tool. YouTube, Firefox, and your network can still observe normal browsing activity. Saved YouTube playlists are outbound references. re:Watch does not fetch their member videos in the background and does not yet provide extension-managed local playlists. Use Backup and Restore to move supported data manually between browser profiles or devices. There is no automatic cross-device synchronization. Backup files can reveal viewing habits and should be kept private. Available in English, Bulgarian, German, Spanish, and French. Non-English translations are machine-generated and corrections are welcome.
