TubeNitro – intuitive press-hold + drag to dial YouTube speed (0.5-10×)

I built TubeNitro because I found YouTube’s 2x long-press feature both useful and frustrating.

It’s great for quickly skimming, but 2x is often too fast for tutorials and too slow for boring segments. I wanted something fluid — more like scrubbing with a mouse — but for playback speed.

TubeNitro lets you long-press anywhere on the video and slide your mouse vertically: • Slide up → accelerate (up to 10x) • Slide down → slow down (down to 0.5x)

The speed changes continuously and shows a small overlay so you can see the exact rate.
