Description

💡 FEATURES 💡

👁️‍🗨️ Removes distractions from YouTube Hides home feed, shorts, live streams, 'watch next' recommendations, end video suggestions, comments, trending videos, etc. so you can work/learn without distractions.

😵‍💫 Blocks mindless consumption Puts measures in place to stop you from mindlessly opening YouTube out of habit.

🔧 Single-click environment optimization Automatically sets up the perfect environment for you based on what you want to do on YouTube. Want to do some serious learning work? It'll set up the perfect environment for you. Want to explore new topics? It'll set up the perfect environment for that. Want to see only educational content on your feed? Donezo. Want to watch something entertaining while taking a short break, or while you're bathing or sitting on the toilet, without falling into a binge spree? Got you covered my friend ;)

⏳ Time your sessions Helps you stick to your goals by letting you specify how long your YouTube session should last. Whether it’s a 15-minute break or a 1-hour study session, you decide how long you stay on the platform—and the extension will make sure you don’t stay for any longer than you meant to.

📱 Works on mobile (Tested on Android - Kiwi Browser) Hides distractions from mobile version of YouTube to make sure you're covered on all your devices.

🎨 Customizable Offers a high level of customization, allowing you to tailor the extension to best fit your needs. You can adjust the strictness of certain features, or disable them altogether if you find them annoying, or choose which parts of YouTube you want to see and which ones you don't.
