UnTrap – Remove YouTube Shorts & Distractions

UnTrap turns YouTube into a clean, focused, and intentional space.

It removes distractions like Shorts, visual noise, and attention-grabbing UI elements,
so you can watch content without endless scrolling or interruptions.

UnTrap offers 250+ powerful features that let you fully customize
how YouTube looks and behaves — from layout and content filters to automation,
focus tools, and AI-powered summaries.

🧩 Shorts & scrolling, under control

Short videos are one of the biggest attention traps.

UnTrap lets you remove Shorts entirely or treat them as regular videos, so you stay in control without breaking your workflow.

You can disable Shorts, open them in the standard player, or keep them hidden for a cleaner interface.

🧹 Clean YouTube, less noise

Decide what stays and what goes.

Remove related videos, comments, suggestions, live chat, notifications, buttons, sidebars, and trending sections when they pull attention away.

Reduce visual noise by hiding thumbnails, overlays, promotions, and ad banners,
or even the Home feed entirely.

🤖 AI-powered understanding, not endless watching

Understand videos faster without watching everything.

Get instant AI video summaries with key insights, timestamps, and enhanced transcripts.

Jump directly to important moments, expand transcripts or descriptions, and save summaries for later — with multilingual support across content types.

🧠 A calmer focus experience

UnTrap is built as a gentle focus tool, not an aggressive blocker.

A calm interface and mindful controls help reduce overstimulation and support healthier viewing habits.

Many users rely on it as a lightweight digital detox tool — focused on control, not restriction.

⏱ Productivity & time awareness

Switch to Zen mode or a minimalist layout when working.

Use built-in time awareness tools to make YouTube intentional instead of automatic.

Whether you’re building productivity habits or simply trying to stay focused, UnTrap adapts to your workflow.

🎥 Player & playback, upgraded

Enjoy a distraction-free player with full-window viewing, resizable layout, and precise playback controls.

Adjust brightness, apply video filters, set default quality, loop content intelligently, or navigate playlists more efficiently.

🎨 Layout, UI & themes

Personalize YouTube with themes, cinema mode, or full-size theater mode.

Restore the old YouTube layout, use legacy list views, or switch to a minimal interface.

Small tweaks like disabling ambient lighting or improving in-page search refine everyday use.

🛡 Advanced filtering & safer viewing

Filter content, block unwanted videos or channels, mute topics,
and apply keyword-based rules to shape your feed.

UnTrap supports advanced content filtering and parental control tools to help build a safer, distraction-free environment.

⚙️ Automation & power tools

Save time with smart automation.

Disable autoplay, auto-skip video promotions, add intentional opening delays,
set default playback speed, enable fullscreen automatically,
redirect the Home page, and control YouTube with custom keyboard shortcuts.

YouTube adapts to you — not the other way around.

🌍 Works across devices

UnTrap works across desktop, mobile, and embedded YouTube players, making it a reliable YouTube enhancement wherever you watch.
