## Description

MainTube is a focused YouTube browser for iPhone and iPad that hides Shorts so you can watch what you actually came for.

Tired of opening YouTube "for one video" and losing 30 minutes to Shorts? MainTube removes the distraction at the source.

What it does:
• Hides the Shorts tab in the bottom navigation
• Removes the Shorts shelf from your home feed
• Filters Shorts out of search results
• Filters Shorts out of your subscription feed
• Keeps long-form videos, channels, playlists, and everything else you love about YouTube

Built for focus:
• Optional Face ID lock — keep the app (and your attention) protected
• Clean, minimal interface with no ads of our own
• No account required — sign in with your YouTube account only if you want to
• Works on iPhone and iPad

Privacy first:
• We do not collect, track, or transmit any personal data
• No analytics, no ads, no third-party trackers
• Your YouTube session stays between you and YouTube

Stop scrolling. Start watching.

MainTube is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google LLC.
