Built for YouTube filtering
A practical toolkit for removing unwanted videos.
Instead of fighting YouTube one recommendation at a time, create clear rules that keep your homepage, search results and side recommendations cleaner.
Channel filtering
Block videos from channels that keep returning to your feed, even when YouTube will not let you fully block them.
Hide YouTube Shorts
Remove short-form distractions from the YouTube experience when you want a more intentional browsing session.
Rule presets
Create focused setups for study, work, kids-safe browsing, no politics or your own custom keyword groups.
Local and private
Your filtering rules live in your browser. The product is designed around simple local control, not cloud profiling.
Fast to start
Install, add your first keyword or channel, open YouTube and immediately see a calmer feed.

User feedback
People use it to make YouTube feel intentional again.
