Turn YouTube playlists into courses you finish

LessonCrumb tracks which videos you've watched, how far you've come, and where to pick up — both on the web and right inside YouTube.

How it works

1

Find a playlist

Open any YouTube playlist — a coding course, language lesson, or fitness series. Paste the URL into LessonCrumb or use the browser extension right on the page.

2

Add it as a course

LessonCrumb saves the playlist to your dashboard and starts tracking your progress automatically as you watch.

3

Pick up where you left off

Every time you return, LessonCrumb shows your progress and jumps straight to the next unwatched video — no more scrolling to find your place.

Web dashboard

Everything you need to stay on track

Visual progress tracking

See exactly how far through each course you are with a live progress bar and percentage. Completed courses move to their own section automatically.

Resume in one click

Open Classroom jumps you straight to the next unwatched video. Your place is saved whenever you finish a video — even if you close the tab.

Sync across devices

Sign in with Google to sync your watch history to the cloud. Start on your laptop, continue on your phone — your progress follows you.

Focus mode

Hide courses you aren't actively working on to keep your dashboard clean and your attention on what matters right now.

Invested time

LessonCrumb logs the real time you spend watching. See how many hours you've put into each course — motivation to keep going.

Import & export

Already tracking courses elsewhere? Import your history as JSON and export a backup at any time.

Browser extension

Track progress right inside YouTube

The LessonCrumb extension adds progress tracking directly onto YouTube pages — no tab-switching, no copy-pasting URLs.
