FocusTube
“Reclaim Your Attention on the World's Video Stage”
FocusTube transforms YouTube into a pure intentional learning tool. By removing distracting recommendation feeds, algorithmic infinite scroll, autoplay traps, and sidebar clutter, FocusTube helps knowledge workers, students, and engineers maintain deep focus.
Engineers and students go to video platforms for 5 minutes of documentation or tutorials, but algorithmic recommendation hooks trap them for hours.
Pennion designed a surgical, zero-latency DOM modifier that restores intentionality to video viewing without breaking search or subscriptions.
Engineered a pure vanilla DOM mutation-observer based Manifest V3 extension requiring zero runtime dependencies.
Transformed video consumption for focused learners into an intentional search utility with zero bloat.
