Features

LockedIn gives you full control over YouTube with 25+ customizable toggles. Hide distractions like Shorts, comments, recommendations, and autoplay with a single click to create a focused browsing experience. Mix and match features to build a YouTube experience that fits your needs, whether you're studying, researching, working, or simply watching without unnecessary distractions.

Hide Shorts

Take back your time by completely removing YouTube Shorts from your browsing experience.

  • Granular Page Control: Toggle Shorts visibility on specific pages like the Homepage, Video Page, or Search Results.
  • Global Blocker: Use the "Hide Shorts Across All Pages" master toggle to wipe out short-form content with a single click.
  • Intercept the Loop: This feature doesn't just hide elements; it actively blocks the dedicated Shorts player from loading content, instantly breaking the cycle of accidental clicks.

Redirect Shorts

Break the loop of mindless swiping while still watching the content you actually care about.

  • Stop Doomscrolling: If you don't want to hide Shorts completely, convert them instantly into a traditional YouTube video format.
  • Standard Video Layout: Opens short-form content in the regular video player, stripping away the infinite vertical scroll trap.
  • Focus-Friendly Viewing: Watch standalone videos with regular playback controls and zero pressure to swipe to the next algorithmic recommendation.

Clean Video Page

Keep your focus entirely on the video you came to watch, without being pulled down an endless rabbit hole of recommendations.

  • Custom Sidebar Control: Take total control over your layout by choosing exactly what appears on your video page sidebar.
  • Element Isolation: Easily filter out specific sidebar distractions like automated playlists, embedded Shorts sections, or unrelated recommendations.
  • Minimalist View: Toggle off the entire right-hand sidebar for an ultra-focused, cinema-like viewing experience.

Hide Thumbnails

Neutralize clickbait and sensory overload by altering how video images are displayed across the platform.

  • Eliminate Distractions: Turn off video thumbnails completely to browse intentionally using only text titles.
  • Dynamic Blur Option: Keep thumbnails heavily blurred by default to soften visual temptations while keeping the overall layout clean.
  • Reveal on Hover: Safely peek at a thumbnail only when necessary by hovering your cursor over it, keeping visual data strictly on your terms.

Clean Homepage

Transform your YouTube landing page from a chaotic marketplace of distractions into a clean, intentional workspace.

  • Remove Platform Clutter: Seamlessly hide annoying algorithm fillers like YouTube Playables, "Explore More" topic bars, and forced featured content sections.
  • Filter Specialized Noise: Instantly clear out clutter like members-only videos and promotional cards that crowd your view.
  • Zero-Distraction Mode: Completely hide the entire homepage feed for a pristine, search-only interface that keeps you locked in on your actual goals.
