What is MediaPilot
Remove music or noise with local AI — playback speed, Focus Mode, Volume Boost, Hide Video, Auto Scroll. Distraction-free. MediaPilot
MediaPilot uses AI to remove unwanted background music from audio playing in your browser, helping you hear speech and voices more clearly. It also includes playback speed controls, Volume Boost, Focus Mode, and a daily Shorts Limit to give you more control over your video and audio experience.
Whether you're watching a video, listening to a lecture, taking an online course, or playing browser audio with distracting music, simply turn on the extension and adjust the cleaning intensity to find the balance that works best for you. Need to get through a long video faster? Speed playback up to 4× — or slow it down to 0.25× to study closely. Want to focus on the video and dim everything around it? Turn on Focus Mode. Spending too much time on YouTube Shorts? Set a daily limit and MediaPilot will block Shorts once you hit it.

Audio processing is performed locally by the extension using an included AI model. Your audio is not uploaded to a server or sent to the cloud for processing. Tab audio is only captured while the cleaning feature is active.
How to Use
Open a browser tab playing video or audio. Click the MediaPilot extension icon. Turn the extension on. Adjust the cleaning intensity if needed. Use the playback speed slider or preset buttons to change playback speed anytime. Toggle Focus Mode, Volume Boost, or set a Shorts Limit from the popup. Use keyboard shortcuts for quick control (see the popup for the full list). Turn it off anytime to return to normal audio.
The extension uses Chrome's tab audio capture functionality only when you activate the music removal feature.
Built for Clearer Audio and Faster Watching
MediaPilot helps improve your browser audio experience by reducing unwanted background music and giving you more control over video playback speed, focus, and time. It works directly in your browser with local processing, without requiring additional software or a backend server.
