Auto Skip makes your streaming experience seamless. Stop wasting time manually skipping intros, recaps, or credits — Auto Skip detects and clicks the official Skip/Next buttons for you. Works with popular streaming services. Features – Automatically skip intros, recaps, credits, and next-episode prompts – Works on popular streaming services – Simple setup in Safari — just enable the extension – Per-site switches in the extension popup – Does not skip ads; respects provider terms Free Every feature works without paying. If you want to support development, the app offers an optional one-time tip — it unlocks nothing. Something stopped working? Streaming services change their players without warning, and a changed button stops the skipping until Auto Skip is updated. The app has a Report a problem button, and that report is what gets it fixed.
