It is easy to lose track of time on YouTube. One video leads to another, and suddenly an hour has passed. This Drop in adds a small timer to the YouTube interface showing how much time you have spent watching today.
The counter updates as you watch, giving you a gentle reminder of your screen time without blocking anything. Use it to stay aware of your viewing habits and make intentional choices about how you spend your time.
Pair it with a personal limit. Once you see the number, it's easier to decide if one more video is worth it.
