YouTube UI Cleaner

Take control of what appears on YouTube. YouTube UI Cleaner hides distracting video formats, unwanted topics, and clutter across your Home feed, subscriptions, search results, and watch pages.

Every feature can be controlled individually, allowing you to create a cleaner YouTube experience without replacing or redesigning the interface.

CLEANER YOUTUBE FEEDS • Hide Shorts from the Home feed, subscriptions, search results, and sidebar navigation. • Hide Mixes, podcasts, and playlists. • Hide live streams and live video recommendations. • Remove dismissible feed sections such as Community posts, nudges, and recommendation shelves. • Hide category filter chips from the top of the Home feed. • Remove “Includes paid promotion” overlays from videos.

CUSTOM KEYWORD FILTERS Create named filter groups for topics you do not want to see—such as spoilers, sports results, celebrity news, reactions, or reviews. Enabled filters automatically hide video cards containing matching text.

QUICK VIDEO ACTIONS Hover over supported video thumbnails to access Watch Later and Not Interested without opening the three-dot menu. These shortcuts work in feeds and on recommendations shown beside or below the video you are watching. The shortcuts use YouTube’s native actions, preserving normal confirmation messages and Undo behavior.

PRIVATE AND OPEN SOURCE YouTube UI Cleaner operates locally and does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.
