Take Control of YouTube
Block distractions, set time limits, filter content, and create a focused viewing experience. Whether you're a parent building a safe space for your kids or someone trying to stay productive, TubeZen gives you the tools to take back control.
100% private — all your data stays on your device. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sent anywhere.
Everything You Need
Parental Controls & Content Filtering
Block entire content categories — Violence, Gambling, Drugs/Alcohol, Horror, and Sexual content — with one toggle. Expand any category to see exactly which keywords are filtered. Disable the YouTube search bar entirely. Lock all settings behind a 4-digit PIN.
Time Management & Activity Tracking
Set a daily viewing limit — once time runs out, YouTube is blocked for the rest of the day. View watch history grouped by day with per-day time totals and video counts. Turn on Focus Mode to redirect away from YouTube entirely.
Distraction Removal
Hide the homepage feed, recommended videos, comments, and sidebar clutter. Lock Shorts to disable infinite scrolling. Force Autoplay off — the extension actively prevents YouTube from turning it back on.
Customization
Block specific channels or keywords manually. Import and export blocklists as CSV files. Right-click any text or channel link on YouTube to block it instantly.
Fully Offline & Private
No accounts, no servers, no data collection. Everything is stored locally on your device. TubeZen works entirely offline — your browsing habits are nobody's business but yours.
Take Back Your Time
YouTube doesn't have to be an endless rabbit hole. Whether you're a parent creating a safe space for your children or a professional escaping the algorithm's trap — TubeZen turns YouTube into a purposeful, distraction-free platform.
