⏱️ Focus Session (Pomodoro)

Turn on a 25-minute focus timer followed by a 5-minute break. During focus time, Superpower YouTube automatically enforces your distraction-blocking rules (Hide Shorts, Disable Autoplay, etc.). It’s a simple way to build momentum and maintain attention across study or work sessions.

🧭 Tips for a calmer YouTube

• Enable Redirect to Subscriptions + Hide Home Feed for a distraction-free start page.
• Combine Disable Autoplay with Hide End Screen Feed to prevent “just one more video.”
• Use Hide / Blur Thumbnails to eliminate clickbait and reduce visual noise.
• Schedule Hide During for your working hours, or select Hide On to choose specific days to automatically hide YouTube distractions whenever those periods start.

Selecting "Focus Session", "Hide During", or "Hide On" will automatically hide the YouTube distractions below:

• Home Feed
• Shorts
• Explore
• Playables
• Breaking News
• Recommendations
• End Screen Feed
• Comments
• Autoplay

Use "Lock Settings" to prevent you from ending a scheduled session.

Great extension for focus and productivity! It hides Shorts, sidebars, and comments so I can watch YouTube without distractions. Also really useful as a light parental control tool — I can block Shorts and other clutter so kids don’t get pulled into endless scrolling. Simple, effective, and does exactly what it says.
