YouTube Content Filter

Filter YouTube videos based on keywords using AI

I created this extension for one simple reason: I was losing 8-10 hours of my day to the YouTube rabbit hole. One "quick" video on anime would spiral into a full day lost to mindless scrolling. Sound familiar? This isn't just another generic content blocker. Unhook for YouTube is a powerful tool designed to surgically dismantle the habit-forming components of the platform, giving you back control over your time and attention. It's built on a simple principle: to break a habit, you must break the loop. Here’s how we do it: 🎯 1. Block Your Personal Rabbit Holes You know exactly which types of videos consume your time. For me, it was anime and manga. For you, it might be gaming, celebrity news, or political commentary. Unhook lets you create a personalized blocklist of keywords. Any video title, channel, or description containing these words will be hidden, removing your biggest temptations before you even see them. 🚫 2. Eliminate Addictive YouTube Shorts YouTube Shorts is a powerful habit-forming machine. It leverages a rapid feedback loop of trigger, action, reward, and investment that can keep you scrolling for hours. This extension removes Shorts from your feed and navigation completely, breaking the most addictive cycle on the platform. 🤖 3. End Binge-Watching with No Recommendations The recommendation sidebar and the "Up Next" auto-play feature are designed for one thing: to keep you watching indefinitely. By removing all algorithmic recommendations, we put an end to binge-watching. You'll be able to watch the video you intended to watch and then consciously decide what to do next, rather than being led by the algorithm. Who is this for? Students struggling with procrastination. Professionals who need to maintain focus during work hours. Anyone who feels their YouTube usage is out of control and wants to build a healthier relationship with the platform. Stop letting the algorithm dictate your day. Use YouTube as a tool, not a time sink.
