Bookmarks
A moment to come back to
- Saves the time and a frame of the video with one key
- Ticks on the progress bar, and a panel to jump between them
- Notes, and a library synced to your account
A Chrome extension for YouTube
Bookmark the moment.Clip the best part.
Save any moment of a YouTube video with one key. Cut the part worth keeping into a clip that loops, and share it with a link anyone can open.
Then B to bookmark, X to clip.

Two ways to keep a moment
A bookmark marks a point to come back to. A clip keeps a stretch you can replay and send.
Clips
A part to replay and share
- Any stretch, from five seconds to the whole video
- Loops in YouTube's own player, and in your clip feed
- Shares as a link anyone can watch, no account needed
Bookmarks
Press B. The moment is saved.
A bookmark is a single moment: the time, a frame of the video and, if you like, a line about why it mattered. It sits on the progress bar, so the video becomes its own index.
- Step 1
Press B at the moment that matters
The current time is saved with a thumbnail of the frame, and a tick appears on the progress bar.
- Step 2
Jump between moments
Shift+B opens the panel on the video. Click a moment to jump straight to it, or hover a tick to see its note.
- Step 3
Come back to it anytime
Your library lists every video you have bookmarked, synced to your account on any Chrome.
One key. Saved.
Press B while watching and the exact moment is bookmarked — with a frame thumbnail.
Lives inside YouTube
A button in the player bar, tick marks on the progress bar, and a panel to jump between moments.
Your library, anywhere
Every video with bookmarks in one place. Synced to your account, ready on any Chrome.
Notes on moments
Add a line of context to any bookmark so future-you knows why it mattered.
Tidy by default
Delete the last bookmark and the video disappears from your library automatically.
Private by design
Row-level security on every table. Thumbnails are stored privately and served on demand.
Clips
Cut the part worth keeping. Share it with a link.
A clip is a stretch of a video, from five seconds to the whole thing. It loops while you watch, and one click turns it into a link anyone can open.
YouTube dropped its own Clip button in April 2026. YTMark puts clipping back in the player. What changed
youtube.com/watch?v=…
1:32 / 3:45
Start a clip
Press X or the scissors where the part begins. It starts 30 seconds long, and loops.
Trim it
Drag either end over the progress bar. Arrow keys nudge a second, or a tenth with Shift.
Save it
Enter saves it with a thumbnail of the frame. Esc drops it.
Plays on repeat, right on YouTube
Click a clip in the panel and YouTube's own player loops it until you move on, at whatever speed you've set. Learn the riff, drill the step, catch the line you keep missing.
- Guitar solos
- Dance routines
- Language practice
- Match replays
Send just that part
No more “skip to 4:32”. A clip link opens the clip and nothing else, with a preview that shows what it is.
- Step 1
Copy the link
One click on the link icon in the panel on YouTube, or Share in your library. The link is made and copied for you.
- Step 2
It previews in any chat
Pasted into a message or a post, the link shows the video's thumbnail with the clip's title and time range.
- Step 3
They watch just the clip
It plays on repeat from the clip's first second, in any browser, phones included. No account, no extension.
YTMark · 12s clip- View countsEach shared clip shows its views: once per browser a day, never your own.

All your clips, as a feed
The Clips tab in your library plays every clip you've made, one per screen and on repeat, on your phone too. Swipe, scroll or press ↓ for the next, and add a note or share it from right there.
Frequently asked questions
- Can you bookmark a specific moment in a YouTube video?
- Not with YouTube alone — Watch Later and playlists only save whole videos. YTMark adds a per-moment layer: press B and the exact timestamp is saved against that video, with a thumbnail of the frame.
- How do I clip a YouTube video?
- With YTMark installed, press X on any video in Chrome, or click the scissors in the player's controls. A 30-second clip starts where you are and loops; drag its ends to trim it, then press Enter to save. The link icon next to the clip copies a share link.
- What happened to YouTube's Clip button?
- YouTube stopped letting viewers make new Clips on April 17, 2026; clips made before then still play. YTMark does the same job from a browser extension — pick a stretch, save it, share a link — without the old 60-second limit.
- Can someone watch a clip I share without an account?
- Yes. A clip link opens a web page that plays the clip in any browser, phones included. They don't need YTMark, an account or the extension.
- How long can a clip be?
- Anything from 5 seconds to the whole video. A new clip starts at 30 seconds, and you drag its ends to fit.
- Does it work on any YouTube video?
- Bookmarks work on any youtube.com/watch page, and clips on any video at least 5 seconds long, though not on a stream while it is still live. If an uploader has turned off embedding, a shared clip's page can't play it and links to the video on YouTube instead.
- Do my bookmarks and clips sync between devices?
- Yes. Everything is stored against your account, so signing in on another Chrome brings your whole library with you, and your clip feed plays on any device you sign in on, phones included.
- Is it free?
- There is a free plan that covers one video with unlimited bookmarks and clips, share links included, and needs no card. Pro is €4 a month or €36 a year for unlimited videos.
- Is this made by YouTube?
- No. YTMark is an independent browser extension and is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
