🚀 YT AutoLike — Auto Like for YouTube™ & Shorts 👍
Hey there! 👋 Tired of forgetting to hit that like button on videos you love? YT AutoLike is a privacy-first browser extension that automatically likes YouTube videos and Shorts after you've watched a set percentage. It's the ultimate tool for supporting your favorite creators and community while you just sit back and enjoy the show! 🍿
🔒 100% Private & Local — No data ever leaves your device. No servers, no trackers, just you and your favorite creators.
✨ Why YT AutoLike? (The MVP Selling Point) 💡
Unlike other auto-likers that might be clunky or data-hungry, YT AutoLike is built with a "Privacy First" mindset. It's designed to be a "set it and forget it" companion that purely encourages community growth.
What makes us different?
- Community Focused: Our goal is to help creators grow by ensuring they get the engagement they deserve.
- Privacy Core: We don't have servers. We don't want your data. Everything stays in your browser.
- Smart Logic: We won't like videos if you're logged out, or if you've already voted. We only act when you're really watching!
🛠️ Awesome Features
- 🎯 Four targeting modes — Global, Only Shorts, Only Videos, or Whitelist Only!
- ⏲️ Configurable watch threshold — You decide! 10%–90% (default 50%).
- 📝 Whitelist manager — Only support your absolute favorite channels!
- 🛡️ Active-watching guard — Only works on the tab you're actually looking at.
- 📜 Activity feed — See your last 50 supported videos!
- 👋 Friendly reminders — Get a nice toast message every hour of watch time! (You can turn it off, but we hope you don't! 😊)
