YT EduFocus replaces YouTube's algorithm with educational suggestions, hides distractions, and creates a focused learning environment — in one click.
The Problem
Every pixel of YouTube's interface is engineered to pull you away from learning — and toward the next viral video.
YouTube suggests what maximizes watch time, not what helps you learn the topic you're studying.
Comments are designed to provoke engagement — scrolling through them destroys deep focus instantly.
Notification bells, trending sidebars, and autoplay overlays compete for your attention non-stop.
more time spent on intended task when distractions are removed from the environment.
data collected. Ever. Not a single byte leaves your browser.
Features
Six carefully designed features that work together to turn YouTube into a real learning tool.
We replace YouTube's recommendation feed with real educational search results matched to whatever you're watching — no ads, no viral bait, no engagement farming.
Toggle Focus Mode from the toolbar popup or the inline button next to the Like button. Activates instantly without reloading the page.
The comment section vanishes entirely in Focus Mode — no half-scrolling, no accidental rabbit holes, no distractions below the video.
YT EduFocus automatically identifies educational videos via YouTube's category metadata and 40+ keyword signals, then auto-enables Focus Mode if you want.
Navigation bars, notification buttons, and end-screen overlays are dimmed so the video stays the center of your world — not YouTube's chrome.
Search for any topic directly inside the sidebar panel. Jump to a new subject without ever leaving the page or touching YouTube's search bar.
