  YouTube Study Mode helps you turn YouTube into a cleaner, more focused space for studying and deep work.
  
  Whether you are watching lectures, tutorials, or study playlists, YouTube can easily pull your attention away with Shorts, comments, recommended videos, and other distractions. This extension removes that noise so you can stay on task.

  🚀 Regain Your Focus and Stop YouTube Procrastination
  YouTube is the world’s best learning platform, but its algorithm is designed to keep you clicking, scrolling, and watching for hours. YouTube Study Mode is a lightweight, customizable extension that turns YouTube into a clean, distraction-free environment for students, developers, and deep workers.
  
  Whether you are watching a 10-hour coding tutorial, listening to lofi study music, or watching a lecture, we hide the clickbait so you can actually get your work done.
  
  ✨ FREE CORE FEATURES:
  • 🚫 Hide Shorts: Completely removes the Shorts shelf and navigation tab.
  • 📴 Hide Recommendations: Hides the home feed and end-screen video suggestions.
  • 💬 Hide Comments: Removes the comment section to keep you out of debates.
  • 📉 Hide Sidebar: Cleans up the related videos panel on the watch page.
  • 🍿 Clean Player Mode: A minimalist, theater-like viewing experience.
  • 🎛️ 1-Click Presets: Instantly switch between "Study", "Deep Work", and "Minimal" modes.
  
  💎 PREMIUM FEATURES ($4.99 Lifetime):
  For those who need absolute, unbreakable focus.
  • 🔒 Locked Mode: Set a timer (e.g., 60 minutes). You cannot disable the extension or turn distractions back on until the timer runs out.
  • ⏰ Scheduled Blocking: Automatically enable Study Mode during your set working hours (e.g., 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM).
  • 🎯 Custom Rules: Block specific distracting keywords or channels from ever showing up.
  • 📊 Focus Analytics: Track your sessions, minutes focused, and total distractions blocked.
  
  🔒 PRIVACY FIRST:
  Your attention belongs to you, and so does your data. YouTube Study Mode runs locally on your browser. We do not track your browsing history, we do not sell your data, and we do not require account sign-ups to use the core features.
  
  Stop letting the algorithm steal your time. Install YouTube Study Mode and get your focus back today!
