  description

  NeuroFilter.AI turns YouTube from a distraction machine into a goal-aligned workspace.
  Tell NeuroFilter what you want to see more of and what you want to avoid. The extension semantically scores videos inside your browser using your interests, disinterests, and filtering threshold. Relevant videos stay visible. Low-value distractions fade out. You stay in control without relying on blunt keyword blocks or all-or-nothing channel bans.
  What NeuroFilter.AI helps you do
  - Filter YouTube recommendations with on-device AI instead of sending video content to a remote AI service
  - Keep learning, research, study, and work-related videos visible while suppressing distractions
  - Remove high-friction distraction surfaces like Shorts, related videos, comments, autoplay, end screens, search shelves, and more
  - Adjust how strict the filter should be and choose how hidden videos can be revealed
  - Manage preferences and account tools from a polished in-extension dashboard
  - Access optional Pro features such as unlimited scoring, localized billing, student benefits, referral tools, and license support
  Why it is different
  - Semantic filtering: understands topical relevance beyond exact keyword matching
  - On-device privacy: video analysis runs locally in the browser
  - Focus-mode controls: reshapes YouTube itself, not just a blacklist
  - Built for real browsing: works across major YouTube recommendation surfaces
  Privacy
  NeuroFilter.AI processes video content locally on your device for filtering. Video titles, descriptions, and transcript context used for scoring are not sent to a remote AI service. Sign-in, account status, pricing, and billing are handled through backend services only when you use those features.
  Permissions explained
  - storage: saves your settings, preferences, and local session state
  - activeTab and YouTube access: reads the current YouTube page so the extension can score and filter visible recommendations
  - offscreen: runs the local AI model without interrupting your browsing session
  - identity: supports account authentication
  - backend and billing domains: used only for pricing, checkout, and account-related requests
  Best for
  Students, researchers, developers, creators, and anyone who wants YouTube to support intentional viewing instead of endless scrolling.

  YouTube is useful. The algorithm is the problem.
  
  NeuroFilterAI helps turn YouTube from an endless recommendation trap into a focused space for learning, research, coding, study, and intentional browsing using AI.
  
  Instead of blocking YouTube completely, NeuroFilterAI gives you a smarter control layer. Tell it what you want to see more of, what you want to avoid, and how strict the filter should be. The extension then scores YouTube videos based on your intent, so useful content stays visible while low-value distractions fade away.
  
  Built for people who want YouTube to serve their goals — not steal their attention.
  
  WHAT NEUROFILTERAI DOES
  
  • Filters YouTube recommendations using AI
  • Scores videos based on your interests, disinterests, and filter threshold
  • Helps keep useful learning, research, study, coding, and work-related videos visible
  • Reduces distracting recommendations, Shorts, autoplay, comments, sidebars, end screens, and other attention-heavy YouTube surfaces
  • Lets you adjust how strict the filter should be
  • Lets you reveal hidden videos when you choose
  • Gives you a polished in-extension dashboard for focus topics, settings, account tools, and Focus Mode
  • Helps make YouTube feel calmer, cleaner, and more intentional
  
  WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
  
  Most blockers are blunt.
  
  They block websites, channels, or exact keywords. That can be too strict when YouTube is also where you learn, research, revise, build, and explore.
  
  NeuroFilterAI is different.
  
  It uses semantic AI filtering to understand what a video is about, not just whether a specific word appears in the title. That means a video can still match your goals even when it does not use your exact keywords.
  
  For example, if your focus topics are physics, AI, coding, startups, maths, JEE, or research, NeuroFilterAI can help surface related videos while reducing unrelated distractions.
  
  You do not have to quit YouTube.
  You make YouTube work for your intent.
  
  FOCUS MODE FOR YOUTUBE
  
  NeuroFilterAI also includes Focus Mode — a set of controls designed to reduce the parts of YouTube that pull you into endless scrolling.
  
  You can reduce or hide distractions such as:
  
  • Shorts
  • Autoplay
  • Comments
  • Related videos
  • Sidebar recommendations
  • End screens
  • Search shelves
  • Other high-friction attention traps
  
  The goal is simple: keep the useful part of YouTube, reduce the parts that hijack your time.
  
  ON-DEVICE AI SCORING
  
  NeuroFilterAI’s core recommendation scoring runs inside your browser.
  
  Video titles, descriptions, transcript context, interests, disinterests, thresholds, and local scoring data are used by the extension to decide what should stay visible and what should fade.
  
  Sign-in, account status, pricing, checkout, student benefits, referrals, licenses, and optional synced interest features use secure cloud services only when those features are used.
  
  This creates a practical local-first design: the core filtering happens where the distraction happens — inside your browser.
  
  BEST FOR
  
  Students:
  Keep lectures, exam prep, tutorials, JEE content, science, maths, and academic videos visible while reducing random recommendations and Shorts.
  
  Developers:
  Focus on coding, software engineering, system design, AI, machine learning, documentation, and technical learning.
  
  Researchers and serious learners:
  Use YouTube as a research surface without letting the recommendation engine pull you away from your original goal.
  
  Professionals:
  Use YouTube for work, learning, and industry research without turning every session into a distraction spiral.
  
  Anyone reducing distraction:
  Use Focus Mode and AI filtering to make YouTube calmer, cleaner, and more intentional.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Install NeuroFilterAI and login
  2. Add the topics you want to see more of
  3. Add the topics you want to avoid
  4. Choose your filter strictness
  5. Open YouTube and start browseing
  
  NeuroFilterAI does not replace your judgment.
  It gives you a control layer between your attention and the algorithm.
  
  USE YOUTUBE ON PURPOSE
  
  YouTube has some of the best educational content on the internet.
  
  The problem is the noise around it.
  
  NeuroFilterAI helps you keep the signal and reduce the noise — so YouTube becomes useful on purpose, not useful by accident.
  
  Turn YouTube into focus with NeuroFilterAI.
