Worth It? for YouTube

During your focus blocks, asks if a video is worth watching and hides recommendations outside your study topics.

YouTube is full of great videos for learning, and full of distractions that keep you scrolling. Blocking it completely means losing the tutorials and lectures you need for homework. Worth It? lets you keep the useful side of YouTube without the rabbit holes. HOW IT WORKS • Focus blocks: Choose the days and times you want to focus. Outside those blocks, YouTube works like normal. • A pause before every video: During a focus block, opening a video pauses it and asks, “Is this really worth watching right now?” The “Yes” button unlocks after a short countdown, giving you a moment to decide on purpose. • Topic filter: Add the subjects you’re studying, like calculus, physics, or engineering. Recommended videos on your home page and next to the video you’re watching are hidden unless they match one of your topics. • No Shorts during focus: Shorts and end-of-video suggestions are hidden while you’re focusing. • Search still works: Look up anything you need for class. You can also filter search results if you want. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Worth It? has no accounts, no tracking, and no ads. Your schedule and topics are saved in your browser’s own settings storage, and the extension never sends anything to any server. Made by a student who kept losing homework time to YouTube.
