About OnlyTube - Hide distracting feed from YouTube

OnlyTube turns YouTube™ into a distraction-free zone. Instead of opening YouTube and doom-scrolling through an endless feed, you open it with a clear intention – search for something specific, watch it, and leave. That's it. With OnlyTube you can pick what to hide: the suggestions feed, Shorts shelves, Shorts and Subscriptions in the sidebar. Each toggle is independent so you can tune it to exactly how you use YouTube. Curate your Daily Target List – a lightweight personal watch list. Right-click any video link on YouTube and add it to your list. When you open YouTube, you open it with intention – you know what you're here for. Features: Zen Mode — replaces the YouTube homepage with a minimal full-screen overlay so there's nothing to scroll through; just search or go to your Daily Dose list Hide Suggestions — removes the recommendation feed from both the homepage and the watch page sidebar Hide Shorts — strips Shorts shelves from all feeds across the site Hide Sidebar Shorts & Subscriptions — clean up the left-hand nav to show only what you actually use Daily Target List — right-click any video to save it to your personal watch list; open it in the Zen Mode with extra focus and clarity towards your daily goal Keyboard shortcuts — toggle Zen Mode (Alt+Z), Suggestions (Alt+S), and Shorts (Alt+X) without opening the popup Dark & Light mode — matches your preference, separate from YouTube's own theme Everything runs locally.
