Media Helpers

Find media helper apps by XappNova — simple, privacy-friendly tools for converting, editing, and managing your images, audio, and video files.

Media helper apps solve the small frustrations that appear whenever you are watching or listening to something online. These are not full-featured media players or editors — they are lightweight tools that add one missing capability to platforms that already exist.

SpeedByGenre targets one of the most common annoyances on YouTube: the playback speed you want for a tutorial is not the same speed you want for music, a news segment, or a podcast-style interview. The extension reads YouTube's category label and sets the right speed automatically every time a new video loads. You never touch the control. You just watch.

The category will grow as new platform gaps become obvious enough to build around. If there is a media workflow step that feels manual and repetitive every single session, it is a candidate.

Who is this for?

Heavy YouTube users, people who watch a mix of educational and entertainment content, and anyone who finds themselves manually adjusting playback speed multiple times in a single sitting.

Common uses

  • Automatically watching coding tutorials at 1.5x and music videos at 1x without touching the speed slider
  • Getting through news and commentary content faster without the speed carrying over to the next video
  • Watching a full YouTube session in Chrome without ever opening the playback speed menu
