About Pin-Tube
Take back control of your YouTube homepage with Pin-Tube.
YouTube is filled with distractions designed to keep you doom-scrolling. Pin-Tube is a lightweight, privacy-focused extension that cleans up your feed and lets you save videos for later with a single click.
🌟 KEY FEATURES 🌟
📌 Pin Videos to the Homepage
Watching a long video but need to close the tab? Just click the new Pin icon right inside the YouTube player! The video will be saved to a beautiful, native-looking "Pinned Videos" shelf at the absolute top of your YouTube homepage.
- Click the pinned video later to resume playing from the EXACT timestamp you left off!
- Manage all your pinned videos in a clean, dedicated dashboard.
💾 Backup & Restore (Import/Export State)
Never lose your pinned videos or settings again.
- Export all your data into a lightweight JSON backup file.
- Easily import your backup with a single click to restore your
settings and videos on any device or new browser profile.
🚫 Hide Shorts (Doom-scroll Blocker)
Tired of getting sucked into the Shorts algorithm? Pin-Tube completely removes the Shorts shelf from your homepage and the Shorts link from the sidebar. Out of sight, out of mind.
🧹 Hide Tag Chips
Remove the clutter of keyword recommendation chips at the top of the feed for a minimalist, clean browsing experience.
🔒 Privacy First
Pin-Tube runs entirely on your local machine. You do not need to create an account, and we do not track your browsing history or collect any data. Everything is saved directly inside your browser.
Transform YouTube from a distraction machine into a focused, productive entertainment center today!
