YouTube™ Productivity Mode

Experience YouTube™ in Productivity Mode

YouTube™ Productivity Mode

Experience YouTube like never before with YouTube Productivity Mode, inspired by Nir Eyal's principles in 'Indistractable.' This innovative Chrome extension aims to reduce external distractions that often lead us off our intended tasks.

In 'Productivity Mode,' this extension blurs all thumbnails on YouTube, preventing clickbait content from diverting your attention when you're supposed to be focused. Whether you're working or studying, YouTube Productivity Mode helps maintain your concentration by minimizing visual triggers. For a more relaxed experience, it also features a 'Leisure Mode' that allows you to enjoy YouTube without overwhelming ads. Help us enhance your focus - share your experiences, provide feedback, or support our indie project!
