Watch what you came for.
Skip everything else.

You opened YouTube for one 10-minute tutorial. Three hours later you're watching a raccoon steal a sandwich. We fixed that. Focus Mode nukes the related videos, comments, Shorts and the infinite doom-scroll home feed , so you watch your video and get back to pretending you have your life together.

Features

Built to keep you on track

Every feature exists for one reason: to shorten the distance between "I opened YouTube" and "I got what I needed, then left."

One-click Focus Mode

Hide related videos, comments, Shorts links, notifications and the recommendation grid instantly, toggle it back off whenever you actually want to browse.

Session time tracking

See exactly how long you've been watching in this session, right from the popup. Double-click to reset and start fresh.

Video count

A live counter of how many distinct videos you've watched, so the habit of "just one more video" stops hiding from you.

Channel whitelist

Only need YouTube for a few channels, a course, a client, a creator? Whitelist them and everything else stays out of view.

Timestamped notes

Drop a note at any point in a video, jump back to that exact moment later, and import/export your notes as JSON.

Private by design

No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Everything, timers, notes, whitelist, is stored locally in your browser.

How it works

Three steps to a quieter feed

1

Install the extension

Add Focus Mode to Chrome in a few seconds , no sign-up required.

2

Hit "Hide"

Open the popup on any YouTube tab and turn on Focus Mode.

3

Watch, then leave

With nothing to click into next, you finish your video and get back to your day.

Take a look

Everything at a glance

The popup shows your session timer and video count the moment you click the icon , matching the calm, glass look of the extension itself.
