Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I’m thrilled to share Timestamps with you today!
The inspiration behind this extension came from my own frustration. Like many of you, I watch a lot of long-form content on YouTube - podcasts, interviews, tutorials. YouTube has great time markers, but they are always buried deep inside the description box. Expanding the text every single time or scrolling down to find a specific topic felt like a massive waste of time and ruined the viewing experience.
I wanted a solution that was clean, fast, and completely unobtrusive. That’s why I built Timestamps. It neatly extracts time markers and puts them into a sleek navigation sidebar right next to the player, seamlessly blending into the native YouTube interface. It updates instantly, runs completely locally to respect your privacy, and as a huge bonus - clicking any timestamp automatically skips video ads.
No sign-up required, no email needed. Just install it with one click and start using it.
