Your shows, on shuffle.
Can’t pick what to watch? ShuffleShows plays a random episode from the shows you choose, across Netflix and YouTube, and keeps the shuffle going when an episode ends.
For Chrome on desktop. No account needed. Your lists stay in your browser.
How it works
Add your shows
Open a show on Netflix, or a playlist or channel on YouTube, and click “Add”. ShuffleShows reads the full episode list through your own signed-in tab.
Press Shuffle
You get a random episode from everything in your list, across services. Mix a sitcom on Netflix with a cooking channel on YouTube if you like.
Let it keep going
Turn on Channel mode and, when an episode ends, the next random pick starts after a short countdown. Skip or cancel any time.
Shuffle the way you watch
Several lists
Keep “Sitcom night” and “Cooking YouTube” apart. Each list has its own shows, weights and favourites.
Channel mode
At the end of an episode, “Up next (shuffle)” counts down and plays another random pick instead of the next episode in order.
Favourites only
Star the episodes you love and shuffle just those.
Weights
Want one show twice as often? Give it a weight of 2. Set 0 to pause a show without removing it.
No quick repeats
Skips the episodes you played most recently. You choose how many.
Single episodes and videos
Add just one episode, a movie or a single YouTube video to a list.
Smart lists
Optional: suggests lists from your own watch history, like your most-rewatched shows. You preview everything before a list is created.
Mix services
One list can hold shows from Netflix and YouTube together.

Stays in your browser
Lists, favourites and settings live in Chrome’s extension storage on your computer.

Episode lists come from your own open tab. We never see your password.
Nothing sent to us
No analytics, no ads, no selling data. There’s nowhere for it to go.
Questions
Do I need a Netflix or YouTube account?
Yes. ShuffleShows only opens episodes on the services you already use, with your own account. It does not provide or unlock any content.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser’s extension storage on your computer. Your lists, favourites, settings and recently played episodes never leave your browser. We do not run servers for the extension and have no accounts, analytics or tracking.
How does it get the episode lists?
When you click “Add”, the extension asks the Netflix or YouTube page you have open for the show’s episode list, the same way the page itself loads it. It uses your existing sign-in and never sees or stores your password.
What do Smart lists read?
Only if you click “Scan”, it reads your Netflix viewing activity (for the profile you are using) or your YouTube watch history in your own tab, and turns it into suggestions. The raw history is not saved; only the suggestions are, and you can clear them.
Which services work?
Netflix and YouTube today. Disney+, Crave, Prime Video, HBO Max and Apple TV+ are planned, but not built yet.
Does it work on my TV or phone?
Not yet. ShuffleShows is a desktop Chrome extension. You can still cast from Chrome to a TV that supports it.
What happens when a service changes its website?
Adding shows or Channel mode can stop working on that service until we update the extension. Shows you already added keep their episode lists.
Is ShuffleShows made by Netflix or YouTube?
No. It is an independent extension by Dincer Labs and is not affiliated with any streaming service.
Stop scrolling. Start watching.
