Canto

Viewing chapters on repeat

Long YouTube videos are often a whole album, mix, or set in one file. Canto reads the chapters and gives you a proper playlist — so you can jump straight to a song, or loop it for as long as you like.

Coming soon to the App Store

For iPhone and iPad

Every chapter, one tap

Chapter timestamps in a video's description become a tappable list. No more dragging a timeline to find song six.

Loop what you love

Repeat a single chapter, or the whole track. Skip forward and back by chapter, with a scrubber to fine-tune.

Your playlists, front and centre

Sign in with Google and browse the playlists you already keep on YouTube — in a clean grid, sorted your way.

Made for iPhone and iPad

Native iOS design with a two-pane landscape layout on larger screens, and support for 14 languages.

Private by design

No ads, no analytics, no servers. Read-only access to your playlists, and your sign-in stays in your device's Keychain.

Plays through YouTube

Video streams from YouTube's own official player. Canto never downloads, stores, or redistributes anything.

How it works

  1. Build a playlist in YouTube. Canto has no search of its own — it plays videos from the playlists on your account.
  2. Sign in with Google. Read-only, and you can sign out any time.
  3. Pick a video and press play. Chapters appear automatically when the video's description includes timestamps.
