FAQ

Is this safe? What happens to my file?+

Your file is uploaded to our server, parsed once to compute your stats, and stored under a random share URL so you (and only people with that URL) can come back to your results. You can delete it any time from the result page. We never sell, share, or look at your data.

Where do the durations come from? The takeout doesn't have them.+

Correct — Google Takeout only gives us timestamps. We look up the real duration of each unique video via the YouTube Data API and cache it. Videos that no longer exist (private/deleted) fall back to a 6-minute estimate.

How accurate is the total?+

Each entry in the takeout is one video opened. We can't tell if you actually finished a video or stopped after 10 seconds, so the total is an upper bound — the time you'd have spent if you watched every video to the end.

Do I need an account?+

No. Upload, get your link, share if you want. That's it.
