VidTidy — Hide YouTube Distractions

Hide YouTube channels, videos by keyword, and Shorts. No account, tracking, or server-side storage of your rules.

VidTidy helps you remove distracting content from your YouTube feed. • Hide unwanted channels directly from video cards, or add a channel URL in settings. • Filter videos by words and phrases in their titles, with optional whole-word matching. • Hide Shorts cards, shelves, and navigation. Direct Shorts pages are hidden and paused, too. • Pause filtering with one switch. • Back up and transfer your rules with JSON export and import. Filters work on Home, search, Subscriptions, and Up next on desktop YouTube, including newly loaded video cards. No registration or subscription is required. Your rules stay in your browser. VidTidy does not collect analytics or send your rules to a server. VidTidy filters the YouTube interface. It is not an ad blocker or a parental control tool. Regular videos remain accessible through direct links. The official YouTube mobile app is not supported. VidTidy is an independent project, not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
