Make YouTube calm again.

Tubewise hides Shorts, recommendations and comments, and sorts hundreds of subscriptions into topics, so YouTube shows the channels you chose and nothing else.

What it does

  • Hide Shorts everywhere

    Removes Shorts from the home feed, subscriptions, search results, shelves and the sidebar.

  • Focus mode

    One switch hides Shorts, the recommendations rail, comments and Trending at once.

  • Subscriptions sorted by topic

    Auto-tags every channel into Music, Tech, Gaming, Learning and more. Add your own colour-coded tags and pin favourites.

  • Filter your feed by tag

    A tag bar above your subscriptions feed: tap “Learning” and see only learning channels.

  • Block channels

    Block a channel with one click and its videos disappear across YouTube.

  • Your data stays local

    No servers, no account, no analytics. Export and import a JSON backup whenever you like.

Privacy

Tubewise stores everything in your browser’s local storage and never sends your data anywhere. It reads your subscription list from YouTube itself, using the session you are already signed in with.
