About ShortsFree Guard

ShortsFree Guard helps you manage your YouTube Shorts usage and prevents excessive Shorts viewing. When you watch YouTube Shorts, the extension automatically detects your viewing activity and tracks your usage time together with the ShortsFree desktop app. When you reach the Shorts limit you set, ShortsFree Guard blocks further Shorts viewing so you can stay in control of your time. Key features • Automatically detects YouTube Shorts viewing • Tracks your Shorts usage time • Works with the daily Shorts limit set in the ShortsFree desktop app • Blocks Shorts when your daily limit is reached • Lets you choose an additional 10 minutes when needed • Blocks Shorts while Pomodoro or Focus Mode is active • Integrates with the ShortsFree desktop app Important: ShortsFree Guard is a companion extension for the ShortsFree desktop app. The ShortsFree desktop app must be purchased and installed separately to use ShortsFree Guard and its features. The browser extension itself does not provide the full ShortsFree functionality without the desktop app. ShortsFree helps you spend less time on short-form content and more time on what you want to focus on. Less Shorts. More Focus.
