YouTube™ Productivity Mode - Enhance Focus on YouTube™

YouTube™ Productivity Mode is a Chrome extension inspired by the book Indistractable, by Nir Eyal. This tool aims to diminish distractions on YouTube by blurring all thumbnails, reducing the clickbait content's allure. This allows users more control over their time spent on the platform, supporting those who strive for focused productivity. It toggles between 'Productivity' and 'Leisure' modes. Developed by indie makers dedicated to nurturing focus as a superpower.
