CleanTube: Ad & Shorts Blocker

Every video starts with an ad. Every feed pushes Shorts. CleanTube strips it all away — ads, Shorts, recommendations, autoplay. One tap. Zero distractions.

Tired of ads before every video? Sick of Shorts hijacking your feed? CleanTube removes all of it — ads, Shorts, recommendations, autoplay — in one tap. Works in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

BLOCK ADS Pre-rolls, mid-rolls, banners, overlays — all gone automatically. No more 5-second countdowns, no more "Skip Ad" buttons. Just press play.

REMOVE SHORTS Shorts shelf on homepage, search results, sidebar — completely hidden. Optionally redirect any Shorts link to the regular video player.

CLEAN YOUR HOMEPAGE Choose how YouTube greets you:

• Zen Mode: just a search bar, zero recommendations
• Subscriptions Only: only see channels you actually follow
• Default: keep YouTube as-is

HIDE DISTRACTIONS Toggle each element individually:

• End screen overlays
• "Up Next" autoplay suggestions
• Comments section
• Sidebar recommendations
• Membership & Super Chat prompts
• Live chat replay

PLAYBACK ENHANCEMENTS

• Speed Memory: set 1.5x once, every new video remembers it
• Disable autoplay to stop the endless rabbit hole
• Default theater mode for a cinema-like experience

PRIVACY FIRST Zero data collected. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Everything runs 100% locally on your device. We literally cannot see what you watch.

Works with Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase, all devices.
