Take back control of YouTube
Build a whitelist of channels you actually care about.
Everything else gets greyed out. Land on one and a small pop-up asks if you want to stay.
Watch on purpose, not by accident.
Free. No account needed.
Features
Simple tools for intentional habits
Your channels, your rules
One click to save a channel you love. Your list stays private, local, and entirely yours.
Less noise, more signal
Videos outside your whitelist are greyed out automatically. Your feed, finally decluttered.
You always choose
Land on a video outside your whitelist and a small pop-up asks if you want to stay. The video keeps playing. You're never blocked, just reminded.
Follows you everywhere
Set up once, sync everywhere. Your whitelist travels with your Chrome account automatically.
Completely private
Nothing leaves your browser. No server, no account, no tracking. Just you and your list.
Nothing to hide
Every line of code lives on GitHub. Read it, trust it, fork it. No black boxes, ever.
