You can find it here on the App Store. *NOTE 2: WORKS WITHIN SAFARI, NOT THE YOUTUBE APP*: This app lets you control how YouTube appears in the Safari browser. It does NOT change the YouTube app (which is not possible).  However, you can create an icon on your iPhone/iPad's home screen to take you directly to YouTube in the Safari browser. To do so: Open Safari, go to youtube.com and press the sharing icon (with the up-arrow), press 'Add to Home Screen' and 'Add'. ---- "No Distractions" for YouTube is an open-source Safari App Extension I built to help myself. It lets you take control over your use of YouTube instead of letting the YouTube algorithms control you...! It does this by letting you hide video recommendations, other distractions on the front, search, and watch pages, or any custom element you want. You can also choose to hide thumbnail images. Oh, and the app also also hides the ads that are inserted in your search results. :) You can decide for yourself which parts you want to see, by clicking the extension icon. If you want the app to remember your settings for next time, click 'save settings'. If you need to add a little friction to change the settings, so that you don't turn distractions back on too easily, you can set a wait time. This will make you wait e.g. 5 seconds when you open the settings before they appear. The app is open source and does not collect any data. You can inspect the source code, report bugs, and suggest additional features or improvements on: ## "No Distractions" for YouTube Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/1a/ff/e3/1affe31a-5fc9-bfe9-3401-db21dad94551/2688-Simulator_Screenshot_-_iPhone_16_-_2025-04-23_at_14.46.06.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/46/44/6a/46446a3d-107b-2036-cc1c-d53ce4d7b182/2e66ccb9-0d15-433e-8691-bb3c9c325cd8_home_without.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/11/45/f8/1145f847-bd85-a182-4134-7dcf10cc500c/52828ce5-d224-4bbe-b790-adb73e016982_home_with.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/83/c3/2f/83c32f7e-8aaf-053a-cd8c-fa377b943a9b/ae461158-d3eb-480d-bf7c-ab6c7c174ca4_search_without_resize.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/ae/19/85/ae1985c2-f612-eab5-37df-4271333d00fc/51c2750d-e71f-4fe6-8216-35ab6a33029e_search_with_resize.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/88/6e/38/886e384d-00e4-84b2-4fe3-8c506fe10f2a/d6200d66-ae2d-41e7-ae88-261f9cebfa4e_search_without_resize_6.5.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/2d/48/14/2d48146b-f5d4-c3d8-8499-bb5b33ae6d6a/8122fe58-6163-40bd-8391-26f713ee7984_watch_with_resize.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/98/bc/14/98bc1451-5866-59ad-8e19-46a7661dc755/c662bb0b-8cf2-4cdc-bd2f-1fe79c79738c_IMG_0149.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/21/69/ad/2169ad38-66d6-c4cc-5431-6b7a1ee873fc/5cbdf1e3-9e97-4797-818b-419d6b93def5_2688-IMG_2777.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/e0/2c/ac/e02cacf0-b041-fe57-4fdc-0692b74844bd/c2c14f18-a3f2-4d2a-bf2e-36867ee27214_2688-IMG_2781.jpg/1242x2688.png) ## "No Distractions" for YouTube Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 20 (71%) - 4 stars: 4 (14%) - 3 stars: 3 (11%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 1 (4%) ## "No Distractions" for YouTube Reviews in United States ### ***** "Buy this for yourself" If you buy just one thing for yourself this year make it this app. This is a browser extension for safari who’s app lays out exactly how to install and configure it. Was very easy to set up and use. It leaves settings such as dark mode unchanged . Thumbnails for search results can be blocked or blurred by tapping the box next that heading, tap multiple times to cycle through blur/block/on. -- Charredskeleton, 2026-02-23 ### ***** "Thank You!!! Going to save me from endless scrolling!" This works very well! Just trying it out but works perfect so far! -- rayscoo, 2025-12-11 ### ****- "Community Posts" Hello. I do not know if developers are still responding and updating this, but I would find it very helpful if you could add a way to remove community posts. With thumbnails gone, it's almost perfect, but community posts are very pervasive and I have found no way to disable them. Thanks! -- jhawn shmiff, 2025-11-24 ### ****- "Feature request s" Add a field to turn off community posts and dont blur video duration with preview. Either make it additional field in settings and don't blur it. -- Khamzat., 2025-08-26 ### ****- "A little bugged but very good" Most of the features very good except the one to block the comment section doesn’t work. -- shampane popper, 2025-05-26 ### ***-- "Not Up To Standard Anymore" Hello. This app is very useful and I am thankful for the simple and easy instructions. The customization makes it very useful and specific. I’ve been using this for a couple months but now, on YouTube, there seems to be a bug where comment section still shows, even though I have check, and comments should be turned off. I hope this can be fixed expeditiously because this is a major area of concern due to the abundance of inappropriate bot accounts proliferating the online space. -- Racerman123457, 2025-04-28 ### ***** "Does what it says on the tin" Wish I had an option to just show the top 2 videos on on the right hand bar. esp given that hiding the whole thing bugs out the player right now. Wish it had an option to filter subscription list though, but that would just end up being a page with bookmarks. -- PChReviews, 2024-05-28 ### ***** "Thank you!" I just downloaded it and it seems really good. I needed something for Safari! -- sisubean, 2023-08-25 ### ***-- "Fantastic with minor flaws" Just got it and glad with features. Minor bug where when it refreshes the extension loses all the options selected. Works like a charm when it does work though! 👍 -- DL412345, 2023-07-31 ### ***-- "The best way to reduce time on youtube" I appreciate that this is the best app for the web. Those annoying algorithm always interrupt me with wasting time that is valuable. I wish that there would be a new update that will block the preview of a video that is hidden. If it was in an app that would be the beat since I don’t write reviews. -- yolokinger, 2023-03-10 [View all "No Distractions" for YouTube reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## "No Distractions" for YouTube Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Germany | Productivity | #53 | | Top Paid | Canada | Productivity | #67 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Productivity | #163 | | Top Paid | India | Productivity | #186 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | Productivity | #213 | | Top Paid | Poland | Productivity | #227 | | Top Paid | Israel | Productivity | #236 | ## Apps Similar to "No Distractions" for YouTube -
