Intentional YT - YouTube Distraction Blocker & Daily Time Limit

Distraction-free YouTube with granular controls for feeds, Shorts, comments, and watch time limits. 100% private & local.

Intentional YT removes the parts of YouTube designed to keep you scrolling, and gives you tools to actually manage your watch time, not just hide the mess.
