Features

A complete toolkit for deliberate watching.

Six layers, each doing one job well. Together they change what YouTube is — from a feed that happens to you into a tool you happen to use.

Video page

The player, cleaned up and instrumented.

Video page — FocusTube UI

AI Summary modal

Transcript-aware summaries from your own key — Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, DeepSeek or xAI. One button under the player.

Shorts eradication

Shorts disappear from the shelf, the sidebar and the grid — not hidden, gone.

Ad skipping

Skips pre-rolls and mid-rolls automatically, without polling the page into a profiler chart.

Autoplay terminator

The next video never starts itself. Continuing is always your decision.

Force highest quality

No more 480p surprises — the player opens at the quality your connection can afford.

Use cases

Built for how focus actually breaks.

The student

The student

Lecture playlists without the sidebar of everything else. Pomodoro while studying, Sleep Guard after midnight.

The researcher

The researcher

Watch Intent keeps sessions honest, topics show where the hours went, and the Tab Manager keeps sources sorted.

The evening scroller

The evening scroller

Graduated unblock friction turns one more video into a decision. The morning briefing shows yesterday, gently.

Free · Open source · 5-minute setup

Your attention, back on your terms.

Install from source in five minutes, close your first ring tonight, and read yesterday over coffee tomorrow.
