Keep Rolling

No more “Video paused. Continue watching?”. A tiny Safari extension that keeps your music, mixes, playlists and long videos playing on YouTube and YouTube Music, even when you haven’t touched your Mac for a while.

Get it on the Mac App Store

For Safari on macOS 14 or later

Set and forget

Turn it on once. Nothing to configure, no settings to babysit.

Your pauses still work

Only the inactivity prompt is blocked. Pause and play as usual.

Quick health check

Click the toolbar button to see that protection is active on the current tab.

Private by design

No data collected, no tracking, no network requests. It runs only on YouTube pages.

Setting up

  1. Install Keep Rolling from the Mac App Store and open it once.
  2. In Safari → Settings → Extensions, turn on Keep Rolling.
  3. Allow it on youtube.com and music.youtube.com, then reload any open YouTube tabs.
