NoSuggest

NoSuggest is a distraction-free YouTube experience built for people who want to watch intentionally.

YouTube is designed to keep you watching as long as possible. The homepage, recommendations, side cards, shorts, notifications, what's next suggestions and auto-play all work together to pull you into videos you never planned to watch. NoSuggest removes all of that.

You manually add the YouTube channels you care about. That is all you see. The latest 5 videos per channel, no homepage, no recommendations, no shorts, no side cards, no auto-play, no notifications. You open it, you watch something, you close it.

Key features:

• Works on mobile as a PWA, install it to your home screen like a native app
• No account creation, no sign-in, no data collection
• All data stays on your device
• Kids mode where parents can curate channels and lock with a PIN
• Save videos to watch later
• Search YouTube without recommendations showing up around the results
• Completely free, no strings attached

Unlike browser extensions such as Unhook which only work on desktop, NoSuggest works on any device including mobile where most doom scrolling happens. Unlike FreeTube which requires a desktop install, NoSuggest runs straight from the browser with no installation required.
