What Kiwami actually does
YouTube, under control
Set speed in 0.05× steps, preserve pitch, push volume beyond the stock ceiling, move frame by frame, and loop exactly the section you need. Kiwami keeps the controls close without interrupting the video.
- 0.05×–16× speed control with remembered presets
- Volume boost, equalizer, and pitch preservation
- Frame stepping, A–B loops, and focus modes
Every dial, exactly yours
A searchable settings room brings playback, audio, segments, shortcuts, appearance, AI, and data controls into one calm interface. Changes apply across open YouTube tabs and persist locally.
- Searchable settings and command palette
- Custom shortcuts, skins, and focus presets
- Instant changes across open YouTube tabs
Your research desk, beside every video
Pin notes at the exact moment an idea lands, search and highlight the transcript, then export what matters. The side panel keeps learning work attached to the video instead of scattered across tabs.
- Timestamped notes that seek back to the moment
- Searchable transcripts with highlights
- Markdown, Obsidian, Anki, and print-to-PDF exports
Skip the noise. Keep the story.

- SponsorBlock categories with per-type actions
- Skip, mute, or mark segments individually
- Timeline markers and one-click skip to content
