HyperTube — Clean, Focused & Distraction-Free YouTube
HyperTube helps you take back control of your time, focus, and browsing habits on YouTube. Whether you use YouTube for studying, work, coding tutorials, or intentional entertainment, HyperTube lets you selectively declutter recommendations, eliminate addictive rabbit holes, and set hard usage boundaries so you never get trapped in endless scrolling again.
🎯 Core Highlights & Feature Breakdown
🎨 Custom Visual Accent
* Accent Tint: Personalize your HyperTube popup and YouTube interface accents (such as video progress bars, subtle link highlights, and subscribe button borders) to match your aesthetic workspace.
🛡 Distraction Removal (Granular Control)
* Blank Home Feed: Replaces YouTube’s algorithmic homepage with a calm, blank slate — browse only with intention.
* Auto-Redirect to Subscriptions: Skips the algorithm entirely and lands you straight onto channels you consciously follow.
* Shorts Blocker: Completely removes Shorts across shelves, the navigation bar, search results, and your feeds.
* Smart Video Sidebar Toggle: Collapse the entire recommended-videos sidebar with one switch, or selectively hide:
* Recommended Videos List
* Live Chat Panel
* Playlist Queue Panel
* Fundraiser & Donation Modules
* End-Screen Cleanup: Removes post-video suggestions, thumbnail card overlays, and full-screen auto-recommendation grids.
* Comments & Community: Hide comment sections to stay focused on the video content without checking discussions.
* Feed Decluttering: Hide algorithmic auto-mixes, topic-browsing chips, and Playables (mini-games).
* Minimalist Player View: Hide video titles, descriptions, like/share counts, merchandise shelves, ticket offers, and channel banners for complete cinema immersion.
* Header & Notification Shield: Hide YouTube's top navigation bar or selectively turn off the notification bell icon to eliminate red-badge anxiety.
🧭 Clean Navigation (Left Sidebar Customizer)
Toggle off the entire left navigation rail or fine-tune individual shelves:
* Hide Subscriptions List: Cleans up channel subscriptions from view.
* Hide "You" Section: Removes History, Playlists, Watch Later, and Liked Videos shortcuts.
* Hide Explore Panel: Strips Trending, Music, Gaming, News, and Sports.
* Hide "More from YouTube": Hides YouTube Premium, Studio, Music, and Kids links.
⏱ Strict Auto-Close Tab Limits (Break the Loop)
Prevent mindless bingeing with automated session limits that enforce boundaries automatically:
* Off: Standard unrestricted viewing.
* After N Videos: Automatically closes the YouTube tab after watching your custom threshold of videos, Shorts, or livestreams.
* After N Minutes: Automatically closes the tab when your chosen time limit expires, counting from the moment HyperTube starts running.
🔒 Built with Privacy in Mind
* 100% Client-Side: Runs completely on your device without background tracking, account monitoring, or data mining.
* Zero Lag: Built with ultra-lightweight scripts for instant page rendering.
