LOCK IN!
GET THIINGS DONE!
BREAK FREE FROM THE YT ALGORITHM!!
• Hide YouTube Shorts - From Homepage or Shorts tab or Search Results or Completely.. You Decide
• Or maybe Redirect YouTube Shorts - If you need shorts but dont want to get sucked in Doomscrolling, this extension redirects shorts as normal youtube videos.
• More Focused Search Results - Get rid of the shit like "For you", "People also search for", "Searches related to", "Related to your search", "People also watched", and "Recommended for you" from your search results.
• Hide End screen cards - HIde those Annoying video cards that appear at the end of the video.
• Hide recommended videos sidebar - So you can focus more on the video you're watching.
• Hide comments section - Avoid getting lost in comments.
• Hide entire Homepage Feed - Just watch what you came for on youtube, no more getting lost watching random unrelated videos.
WATCH YOUTUBE ON YOUR OWN TERMS!!
How It Works:
1. Install the extension
2. Visit YouTube
3. Click the LockedIn icon in your toolbar
4. Toggle which elements you want to hide
5. Browse YouTube distraction-free!
Benefits:
• Stay focused on you're learning
• Reduce time-wasting on shorts or recommended videos
• Improve productivity while using YouTube
• Customize your viewing experience
• Lightweight and fast - no performance impact
Privacy First, nothing fishy:
• No data collection
• No tracking
• Works entirely locally on your device
• Minimal permissions (only YouTube access and settings storage)
• This is just barebones JavaScript to detect elements and some CSS to apply visual changes.
• The extension calculates your "time saved" stats locally on your device to show your progress. This data never leaves your browser and can be disabled in the menu.
• Best thing.. its OPEN SOURCE!
Open Source & Community-Driven:
• LockedIn is 100% free and open-source. The code is public for anyone to review.
• Why open-source? YouTube's layout changes constantly. This means a new update can sometimes temporarily break a feature for some users.
• You can help! Because LockedIn is open-source, we can adapt together. You are encouraged to report bugs or even contribute fixes on our GitHub to keep the extension strong for everyone.
• Find my project on GitHub: https://github.com/KartikHalkunde/LockedIn-YT
Perfect for students, professionals, researchers, or anyone who wants to use YouTube intentionally without falling into the rabbit hole.
