Hi hackers, how are you? Perhaps kinda tired of having to manually click the "Skip intro" button everytime you watch an episode on Netflix, the "Skip ad" button in every YouTube video, the "Skip preview" button for Prime Video, and all that other "skip this stuff" buttons?

I've developed Skippy, an app that does it for you for every app that you might use!

Skippy scans your screen and using OCR detects all those texts for typical skips buttons. Then automatically taps them for you using and Android accesibility service.

It has native support for English and Spanish, but it is also easily configurable for your own language.

Let me know if you have a chance to try it out or if you have any feedback at all!

Nice app! It's really useful, I'll never manually skip an ad again!
