Sound familiar?
The patterns you can't seem to break
01
"Just one more video"
You told yourself 20 minutes. It's been 2 hours. The algorithm fed you one perfect recommendation after another.
02
"I'll watch something educational"
Noble intention. But 40 minutes later, you're deep into reaction videos and drama recaps. Again.
03
"I opened YouTube for 1 video"
Three hours of Shorts later, you can't even remember what you originally came to watch.
You don't have to quit YouTube. You just need awareness.
How Gazenest works
Three steps between installing the extension and having full visibility over your YouTube behaviour.
Step 01
Install the extension
Add Gazenest to Chrome or Firefox. It works silently in the background - no extra clicks required.

Step 02
Watch as usual
Gazenest silently records every video you watch and syncs it to your account in real time. Switch from laptop to desktop - your full history follows you. Already-watched videos get a badge so you never re-watch by accident.

Open your personal dashboard to see Focus, Clarity, and Diversity scores - and start making better choices.

Your personal dashboard
Everything about your YouTube habits - scores, channels, history, and heatmaps - in one place.
Intentional vs Drift
See exactly how much you watched on purpose
The green bar is yours. The red bar is the algorithm's. Over 30 days you get a precise split: how many hours were intentional, how many were drift. Most people are surprised.

Behavioural Scores
Focus, Clarity, Diversity
Three scores that tell you how intentionally you watch. 100% is best - track your progress over time and spot bad habits early.

Channel Analytics
Know where your time goes
See every channel you watch with avatars, video counts, and total watch time. Label channels as intentional or time-wasters.
www.gazenest.com/dashboard/channels
Activity Heatmap
When do you actually watch?
A full-year activity grid and peak-hours breakdown tell you exactly which days and times your usage spikes. Spot the patterns - late-night rabbit holes, Friday wind-downs - before they become habits.

Everything you need to stay in control
Powerful features designed around your attention, not YouTube's algorithm.
Focus Score
Measure your stimulation index in real time. Identify passive binge spirals before they consume your evening.
Intent Mode™
Set a clear intention before every session and get a Clarity score showing how well you stuck to your goals.
Diversity Score
See if you're stuck in an echo chamber or exploring a healthy variety of creators and topics.
Your personal best-of list
Star any video or channel from your watch history to save it to a personal favorites list, separate from YouTube's recommendations and playlists. Filter to favorited channels only when you want to focus on creators worth your time.
