SkipSeenChrome extension · YouTube
Autoplay stops replaying what you've seen. It only lands on something new.
SkipSeen quietly remembers what you've watched and skips past it during autoplay — no more déjà vu in the Up Next queue.

How it works
Three steps. Then never again.
SkipSeen runs in the background. There's nothing to configure — install it and keep watching the way you already do.

One click from the Chrome Web Store. No sign-up, no setup screen.
Watch like normal
SkipSeen notes which videos you finish and keeps that list on your device.
Autoplay stays fresh
When autoplay queues a video you've already seen, it's skipped automatically.
What's inside
Small extension, exactly enough controls.
Everything lives in one popup. No dashboards, no noise.

Already-watched videos are skipped the moment autoplay reaches them.
On/off toggle
Pause skipping any time with a single switch in the popup.

Private by design
Your history is stored locally and never sent anywhere.
Your watch history never leaves your device.

FAQ
Why does YouTube keep autoplaying videos you've already watched?
The questions people ask most about autoplay replaying old videos — and how SkipSeen fixes it.
Why does YouTube keep autoplaying videos I've already watched?
YouTube's autoplay and the Up Next queue don't reliably filter out videos you've already seen, so it often replays them. SkipSeen fixes this by remembering what you've watched and automatically skipping those videos during autoplay.
How do I make YouTube autoplay skip videos I've already watched?
Install the free SkipSeen Chrome extension. It runs in the background, notes which videos you finish, and automatically skips any already-watched video the moment autoplay reaches it — no setup required.
Does SkipSeen work with YouTube autoplay and the Up Next queue?
Yes. SkipSeen watches the autoplay / Up Next flow on youtube.com and steps past any video that's already in your watched history, so autoplay always lands on something new.
Is SkipSeen free and private?
Yes. SkipSeen is completely free and works entirely on your device. Your watch history is stored in your browser's local storage and is never uploaded — there are no servers, no analytics, and no account.
