Afterglow

Calm colour themes for YouTube, no Shorts or ad cards, and text that follows the speaker. Free to start.

Afterglow turns YouTube into a calm place to watch, with a soft glow around your video. Ambient glow: the colours of the picture spill softly onto the page around the player, like a lit wall behind a TV. One click on, one click off. It runs in your browser, no extra hardware. What else it does: - Soft evening colours (the Sunset theme) instead of white or flat grey - No Shorts in feeds, search or channels - No ad cards or game shelves in feeds (ads inside videos are left alone) - Viewer mode hides buttons you never use, like Create and Studio - Text-video turns the captions of any video into text that follows the speaker word by word, in the size you choose - Folders for your subscriptions and recommended videos - Pages load without jumping or flickering Free and Pro: for your first 30 days you get everything, no card needed. After that the free version keeps the Sunset theme, the cleanup, Viewer mode, Text-video and three folders. Pro adds the ambient glow, 15 more themes, fonts and text colours, black-and-white video, all topic folders and your own list of words to hide. Pro costs EUR 2.99 a month, EUR 24.99 a year or EUR 49 once. Cancel any time, and ask for a full refund within 14 days. Your settings stay in your browser. Afterglow reads video titles on the page only to filter them on your device, and it never sends your history or searches anywhere. The only thing it sends us is your licence key, when you activate Pro. Afterglow is an independent project. It is not affiliated with YouTube or Google. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC.
