## Description

**LockedIn** helps you use YouTube intentionally by hiding Shorts, homepage feeds, recommended videos, comments, end-screen cards, and distracting search-result sections. You can also redirect Shorts to regular video pages, making it easier to avoid doomscrolling while still accessing content you need.

Customize the experience from the toolbar popup with lightweight, local-only controls. LockedIn collects no data, includes no tracking, stores time-saved statistics locally, and is free and open source. It’s designed for students, professionals, researchers, and anyone who wants a more focused YouTube experience.
