ZenTube

A distraction-free YouTube experience

ZenTube helps you use YouTube with intention — not by accident. Hide the homepage feed, remove Shorts, block sidebar recommendations, disable autoplay, and set a daily time limit. When the limit is up, YouTube reminds you to stop. No account, no data collection, no subscriptions. FEATURES • Hide the homepage feed — open YouTube without falling into the rabbit hole • Remove YouTube Shorts — keep your focus on long-form content • Hide sidebar recommendations — watch what you came for, nothing else • Disable autoplay — videos stop instead of auto-playing the next one • Daily time limit — set a limit (e.g. 30 min) and get a reminder when you've hit it • Zen mode — strip the entire UI down to just the video player • Works instantly — no sign-in, no setup, just install and toggle PRIVACY ZenTube stores your preferences locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. Nothing is sent to any server. No analytics, no tracking. FREE & OPEN SOURCE ZenTube is free to use. The source code is available on GitHub at github.com/raghav4/ZenTube. Perfect for students, remote workers, and anyone who wants YouTube as a tool — not a trap.
