About

Stop the scroll and reclaim your productivity. CleanTube is the ultimate focus tool that transforms YouTube from an addiction machine into a distraction-free learning library.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why CleanTube?
Are you tired of opening YouTube for a 5-minute tutorial and losing 2 hours to "Recommended Videos" and Shorts? You are not alone. CleanTube gives you granular control over the YouTube interface, allowing you to hide the sidebar, block the feed, and remove addictive triggers so you can study, code, or work in peace.

🔥 NEW EXCLUSIVE FEATURE: Allow-List Mode (Whitelist)
Unlike standard blockers that hide everything, CleanTube lets you enable "Allow-List Mode." When active, ALL videos are hidden unless they are from the specific channels you trust (e.g., your professors, coding bootcamps, or educational creators). It is the ultimate tool for exam preparation and deep work.

🚀 KEY FEATURES
🛡️ Customize Your Interface (Toggle 20+ Elements)
Don't just block everything—control it.
✅ Hide YouTube Shorts: Remove the addictive Shorts shelf and redirect Shorts links.
✅ Hide Home Feed: Start with a clean, blank search bar. No clickbait.
✅ Hide Recommendations: Remove the "Up Next" sidebar videos.
✅ Hide Comments: Avoid toxic arguments and distractions.
✅ Hide Live Chat, Playlists, Merch Shelves & End Screens.

⛔️ Smart Blocking
Keyword Blocker: Permanently block specific topics (e.g., "Gaming," "News," "Gossip") from appearing in titles or channels.
Channel Blocker: Ban specific distracting creators from your feed forever.
⏱️ Built-in Productivity Tools
Pomodoro Timer: Start a 25-minute focus session directly inside the extension. We’ll notify you when to take a break.
Mini-Player: Pop the video out into a floating window to take notes in another tab.
Password Protection: (Coming Soon) Lock your settings to prevent cheating.

🎓 WHO IS THIS FOR?
Students: Turn YouTube into a strict virtual classroom without the distractions.
Developers: Watch coding tutorials in the Mini-Player without seeing gaming suggestions.
ADHD Users: Reduce visual clutter and overstimulation to maintain attention.
Parents: Use Allow-List mode to ensure children only watch approved educational channels.
