⚡ Need for Speed: The Ultimate Video Controller for YouTube, Shorts, X & Twitch

Take full control of your video playback effortlessly without searching through clumsy menus or touching your keyboard.

Designed specifically for modern web video platforms and short-form content (YouTube Shorts, YouTube, X.com, and Twitch), Need for Speed lets you adjust speed and volume instantly using intuitive mouse gestures and an elegant HUD overlay.

⚡ Instant 1.0x Double-Click Reset:

🎨 Minimalist Floating HUD:
• Visual, non-intrusive badge showing current speed, volume percentage, or preset triggers in real-time.

⌨ Optional Keyboard Shortcuts:
• Convenient keyboard hotkeys to increment, decrement, or reset speed if you prefer hands on the keyboard.
