Youtube Clip Saver

Save YouTube clips instantly. 5 themes, custom durations, search, notes & timeline. All local — no account needed.

YouTube Clip Saver lets you bookmark any moment in a YouTube video with a single click — or a single keypress. No account. No upload. Everything stays on your device.

── HOW IT WORKS ──
While watching any YouTube video, a row of quick-save buttons appears directly on the player. Click a button (or press S) to save a timestamped clip. Open the popup to browse, search, and manage everything you've saved.

── WHAT'S NEW IN V2 ──

🎨 5 Button Themes
Choose the style that fits your setup — switch instantly from the popup without opening settings.
• Glass — frosted dark panel with soft shadows
• Classic — bold red panel, clean white buttons
• Aurora — animated shifting gradient, alive and dynamic
• Retro — dark LCD panel with amber keycap-style buttons
• Pills — no panel at all, floating color pill buttons

⏱ Custom Quick-Save Durations
Replace the fixed 30s / 1m / 2m buttons with any values you want. Set up to 5 durations. The first one is used by the keyboard shortcut.

⌨ Keyboard Shortcut
Press S on any YouTube video to instantly save a clip using your first duration. No mouse needed.

🔍 Search & Filter
Type anything in the popup search bar to instantly filter clips by video title or your own notes — across all saved videos.

📝 Notes on Clips
Add an inline note to any saved clip directly in the popup. Auto-saved as you type. Great for remembering why you saved something.

⏰ Timeline Bar
Clip timestamps shown as clickable badges at the top of each video group. Tap any badge to jump straight to that clip — no scrolling needed.
