What You Can Hide
21 toggles. Every distraction covered.
Hide Shorts
Shorts are removed from every surface — home feed, sidebar, search results, and the navigation bar. YouTube becomes a long-form video platform again.
Hide Home Feed
Clear the home page so you only watch what you came for. Optionally redirect the home button straight to your Subscriptions feed.
Disable Autoplay
Stop the next video from loading automatically. Every watch is intentional. Works on both desktop and mobile YouTube.
Hide Recommended Videos
Remove the sidebar recommendations and end-screen suggestions that pull you down rabbit holes. Just watch the video you chose.
Hide Comments
The comments section can be a time sink and a mood killer. Hide it with one toggle and keep your focus on the content.
Hide Trending & Explore
Block the Trending and Explore tabs so you never accidentally drift into viral content you didn't ask for.
