PilPod

Browser media control — Chrome Extension (MV3)

Twelve tabs are making noise and one of them is the one you want. PilPod gathers every media tab — YouTube, YouTube Music, anything playing audio or video — into a single control panel: volume, timeline, mute, Picture-in-Picture and instant search.

The product

Every tab that makes a sound, on one panel.

Media does not stay where you put it. A video in one window, a playlist in another, an advert autoplaying somewhere you cannot find. The usual fix is hunting through tabs until the noise stops.

PilPod puts all of them on a single panel. Each playing tab gets a row with its own volume and its own timeline. Live search jumps straight to the tab or the stream. One click mutes or pauses everything at once.

It runs entirely inside your browser. No account, no subscription, and nothing leaves the machine.

in the panel

  1. 01 Find — live search across every playing tab
  2. 02 Control — volume, timeline and mute, per tab
  3. 03 Watch — Picture-in-Picture without leaving the page
  4. 04 Rest — sleep idle tabs, wake them on return

Engineering

Built for the power user. Engineered for the long haul.

A media controller is easy to fake with keyboard shortcuts. Doing it properly means talking to the page.

  1. 01

    A live registry, not a guess

    A Manifest V3 service worker keeps a running registry of every tab that owns a media element. The panel shows what is playing now — not what happened to be playing when you opened it.

  2. 02

    Native player bridging

    PilPod drives HTMLMediaElement and the Web Audio API directly, so the controls are the page's own controls rather than a shortcut fired in hope. Volume boosts of up to 400% ride the same path, which is why they work on sites that ignore the system mixer.

  3. 03

    Tab sleep and wake

    Idle media tabs are discarded through chrome.tabs.discard and restored on demand, so a wall of open tabs stops paying for memory it is not using.

  4. 04

    A desktop companion, optional and off

    A Windows companion can bridge system-level audio. It is loopback only, disabled by default, and the extension is complete without it — an addition for people who want it, never a dependency.

  5. 05

    One hub, two seconds

    One click mutes or pauses everything; one field searches every tab. The panel is built to be opened, used and dismissed before you lose your place in what you were doing.
