CleanTube: Ad & Shorts Blocker

Tired of ads before every video? Sick of Shorts hijacking your feed? CleanTube removes all of it — ads, Shorts, recommendations, autoplay — in one tap. Works in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

BLOCK ADS

Pre-rolls, mid-rolls, banners, overlays — all gone automatically. No more 5-second countdowns, no more "Skip Ad" buttons. Just press play.

REMOVE SHORTS

Shorts shelf on homepage, search results, sidebar — completely hidden. Optionally redirect any Shorts link to the regular video player.

CLEAN YOUR HOMEPAGE

Choose how YouTube greets you:

- Zen Mode: just a search bar, zero recommendations

- Subscriptions Only: only see channels you actually follow

- Default: keep YouTube as-is

HIDE DISTRACTIONS

Toggle each element individually:

- End screen overlays

- "Up Next" autoplay suggestions

- Comments section

- Sidebar recommendations

- Membership & Super Chat prompts

- Live chat replay

PLAYBACK ENHANCEMENTS

- Speed Memory: set 1.5x once, every new video remembers it

- Disable autoplay to stop the endless rabbit hole

- Default theater mode for a cinema-like experience

PRIVACY FIRST

Zero data collected. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Everything runs 100% locally on your device. We literally cannot see what you watch.
