USE CASE

YouTube vs YouTube Music

Many people split attention between long-form video and music streaming. If your Takeout file contains both, ViewPulse can separate them so you see each lane clearly.

Why the split matters

“Time on YouTube” in the abstract mixes passive listening with active watching. Separating the two helps you interpret totals fairly — especially if you use YouTube Music as a background audio source.

Export completeness

What you see is only as complete as your Takeout slice. If you omitted Music from the export, the music filter will have little or nothing to show. Include both products in Takeout when you want this comparison.

Privacy-first by design

ViewPulse parses your Google Takeout watch history in the browser. Your export is not uploaded for core analytics. Account AI requires sign-in, uses deployment-managed provider credentials, and runs only when you explicitly trigger a metered request.
