description

Stop doomscrolling on YouTube Shorts for good. Set your limit, and let our persistent block help you reclaim your focus.

--- FEATURES ---

- A Block That Actually Blocks: Our unique cooldown timer is persistent. It survives page reloads, browser navigation, and any attempt to circumvent it. When you're blocked, you're blocked. No easy bypasses.

- You Set the Rules: You are in control. Decide exactly how many Shorts you want to watch (from 1 to 20) before the block is activated. Then, choose a cooldown period from 1 to 12 hours to fit your needs.

- Simple & Focused: A clean and simple popup lets you configure your settings in seconds.

- Privacy First: Shorts Blocker runs 100% on your computer. It never tracks your data or activity. Your Browse is your business, period.
