Watch videos while reading comments.
Enhanced Picture-in-Picture, with native PiP also supporting YouTube subtitles.
Optional automatic PiP, similar to Arc browser.
After installing, open any YouTube video page — when you scroll down and the original video goes out of view, an in-page floating mini player automatically appears.
Unlike Picture-in-Picture, this player stays within the YouTube page, letting you keep watching while reading comments or browsing related content — no need to scroll back up.
You can drag, resize, and control it just like the original player.
It also supports YouTube's CC subtitles and even special caption effects, so you never miss a detail.

When playing videos on YouTube, the system’s native picture-in-picture mode can be automatically enabled based on playback, allowing the video to continue floating for a better viewing experience. This feature must be manually enabled in the settings.
- Does not work if Safari is minimized
- Requires interaction with the YouTube page after opening to confirm the current video

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1. Improved Automatic Picture-in-Picture logic—it now works independently and is no longer affected by the "Auto-enable when page loads" setting.
2. Added experimental support (Labs (Beta)) for websites beyond YouTube, currently including Netflix and Bilibili.
For Netflix:
The in-page floating player is not available due to differences in website layout.
Picture-in-Picture (Caption) is supported. Trigger it from the video page context menu, or enable Automatic Picture-in-Picture in settings.
