$4.99, once. There's no account and no subscription — you pay for the one report and that's the end of it. Your headline stats (hours watched, completion rate, your top channels) are shown for free after you upload, so you can see the real numbers from your own history before you decide whether to buy the full read.

No — every number in the report is computed from your own file, not guessed. The hours, completion rates, video counts, and channel rankings are calculated directly from your history and can't be invented. The written analysis then works from those figures, which is why it names your actual channels and topics back to you rather than describing a type.

You can — the extension has a download button for exactly that, and the file is yours to keep. Two things don't survive the copy-paste. The numbers: ask a chatbot to total 900 watch times and you get a plausible figure rather than a correct one, with no way to tell which you got — every number here is computed in code from your own durations, and the model is never allowed to write one. And the comparison: this remembers your last report on your device, so a second scan tells you whether your feed actually changed after you retrained it. A new chat starts from zero every time.

Usually none. Our free Chrome extension reads your history and hands it straight to the site — there’s no file to export or upload. It picks up the watch-time details (how much of each video you actually watched) that a plain Google export doesn’t include. A Google Takeout export works too, and we’ll walk you through either one on the upload screen.

Yes. The extension runs entirely on your own machine and makes no network requests of its own — it hands your history to this site inside your own browser, and only when you ask it to. Your history is then parsed on your device, and only the watch entries needed for analysis are sent securely to our analysis service. The finished report is kept for 24 hours so you can come back to it — then everything is automatically and permanently deleted from our servers.

Yes, using Google Takeout. The extension needs a desktop Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera or Vivaldi), but Takeout works on any device: request the export on your phone, and when Google emails you the .zip, upload it here exactly as it arrived — no unzipping, no digging for a file inside it. Tick history on its own and the export is usually ready in a few minutes; the long waits people warn about come from leaving the whole account selected. A phone report is step one rather than a lesser version: Takeout records when you watch down to the hour, which the extension can't see, and the extension records how much of each video you finished, which Takeout can't see. So if you buy a Takeout report, your second scan with the extension is free, and we merge the two into a report neither route could produce on its own.

For the report, one reason: it reads how much of each video you actually finished, which only appears on your YouTube history page and which Google Takeout can’t give you. But you don’t need a report to want the extension. It also marks bait-styled titles on your feed and names the technique they use, hides Shorts, the home feed, recommendations, comments and end screens, blocks channels you never finish, warns you when four videos in a row were chosen for you rather than by you, and keeps a daily attention budget. Free either way, and it makes no network requests of its own.

Only if you ask it to. Everything is off until you switch it on, apart from marking bait-styled titles. It can hide Shorts, the home feed, watch-page recommendations, comments and end screens, drain thumbnail colour, block channels, and replace the wall of recommendations at the end of a video with a choice. It will never close a tab, block a video, or stop you watching something — the prompts are sentences with a Dismiss on them. Two features remember anything at all (a weekly count and a daily duration), neither switches on before showing you what it keeps, and one button erases both.

Yes. After payment, your report is generated and emailed automatically to the address you enter at checkout. You can also download it as a PDF. The report stays available on the results page for 24 hours, then it's automatically deleted from our servers — after that, the email and your downloads are the only copies.

Yes, and you don't have to ask us. There's a delete button on the report itself: press it and our copy is destroyed immediately, along with the 24-hour link. The usual way to use it is to email the report to yourself first, download the PDF if you want one, then delete ours — so the only copies left are the ones you're holding. If you'd rather not think about it, doing nothing works too: the report is deleted automatically after 24 hours either way.

Your report shows your viewing persona, where your time actually goes, the topics you keep returning to, the gap between what you click and what you finish, and a set of behavioral patterns — things YouTube has already figured out about you, surfaced so you can see them too. If you answer the two optional questions before the analysis, it also measures your feed against what you said you wanted from it.

No — but you can, and the report gets sharper if you do. After you upload, we ask two quick questions: what you feel you use YouTube for, and what you're working toward this year. You pick from a short list of options, and there's one optional line if you want to add something in your own words. Skip the whole step and the report is still built from your history exactly as before; the price doesn't change either way. If you do answer, the report adds a section comparing what you said you wanted with what your feed actually served you — and the verdict is about the algorithm, not about your willpower.

The same thing that happens to your watch data: they're read once to write your report, then they're gone. Your answers are never written to a database, never appear in our logs, and never reach our usage analytics — we record only whether the questions were answered, never what was picked. They also aren't attached to your payment or your email address. The one thing to know: whatever you type in the optional free-text line is passed to the analysis and may be quoted back in your report, which stays retrievable for 24 hours before it's deleted — so keep anything genuinely sensitive out of it.

We analyze your most recent 90 days of history, capped at your 1,000 most recent videos. This keeps the report focused on who you are now — and keeps the analysis fast.

Large files are fine. Only your 1,000 most recent videos from the last 90 days are analyzed, so a file with years of history typically takes just a few seconds.
