What it does

YouTube is the best place to learn and the easiest place to waste an entire afternoon. FocusTube is a Chrome extension that uses AI to tell the difference. It classifies what you're watching against your goals in real time. Tutorials play uninterrupted. Rabbit holes get caught with smart nudges before you spiral. Block channels, set daily limits, hide recommendations, and track your Focus Score. Works on Chrome, Edge, and Brave. 14-day free trial. No card required

Remove Shorts, the endless feed and the channels that pull you off track. Tell FocusTube why you opened YouTube, and it steps in when what you

Tell it why you opened YouTube, and it steps in the moment you drift. It removes Shorts, the endless feed, and the channels that pull you off track, so you stop losing your evenings to it. "I didn't even realise this was a problem until I tried to stop. I can't imagine using YouTube without it now." "I didn't even realise this was a problem until I tried to stop. I can't imagine using YouTube without it now." Kathleen's first month: 26 hours on YouTube, 22 of them aligned with why she opened the app. He watches what you play and steps in the moment it stops matching what you came for. A word first, a pause if you keep going, never a wall you cannot get through. Say what you came for,…from focustube.co.uk
