Your YouTube, Your Rules
Take control of your YouTube experience. Hide distractions, set time limits, and stay focused.
Tired of endless distractions on YouTube? ProductiTube is a Chrome extension that helps you reclaim your focus and make YouTube work for you. Whether you're studying, working, or just trying to stay productive, ProductiTube gives you the tools to eliminate distractions and take control of your viewing time.
Take control of your YouTube time with powerful limit controls:
- Custom Categories — Create personalized categories like "Entertainment," "Education," "Music," etc.
- Video Count Mode — Set a maximum number of videos per category per day
- Time Mode — Set daily time limits (in minutes) for each category
- Total Daily Limit — Set a global time cap for all YouTube watching
- Real-Time Tracking — See exactly how much time you've spent and videos you've watched
- Smart Notifications — Get alerts when approaching your limits
ProductiTube is designed to keep you honest. Your viewing data persists across all limit modes—switching between "Video Count", "Time Limit", or "Total Time" modes won't reset your progress. Usage only resets at midnight, making it impossible to cheat the system. This strict approach ensures your limits actually work.
