Playrate

Watch everything faster. On every website.

What it does

YouTube caps you at 2x. Netflix has no speed control. Coursera locks you to presets. Playrate gives you full speed control on every website — 0.05x to 16x, fine-tuned to your exact pace. Per-site presets, keyboard shortcuts, and cloud sync across devices. Free to start. $9 once for Pro. No subscription. Ever. Built for students, learners, and anyone who values their time.
