YouTube Most Replayed Finder

See which moments of any video people rewatch most, pulled from YouTube's own heat data.

There is no official heatmap API

YouTube shows a most-replayed graph on its own player, but does not publish that data through the YouTube Data API. No tool can pull it honestly, including this one. Paste a link below and we will show what a real lookup can actually give you.

What this does

YouTube stores a heat map of where people rewind. This page turns those peaks into a list of times you can read.

If YouTube never published heat data for the video, there is nothing to show. We do not guess the most-watched second.

Use cases

01Find the hook people actually rewind, not the one in the title.
02Skip the quiet stretch of a long lecture.
03Compare replay peaks against the official chapters.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Why is the list empty?

Short clips and some new uploads have no heat map yet. That is a miss, not a broken tool.

Do I need an account?

No.

Is anything stored?

Not on the free tier.
