Overview

YouTube's default experience is built to maximize watch time, not focus β€” endless Shorts, autoplay, recommendation rabbit holes. My Tube is a browser extension, plus an Android companion app, that hands that control back to the user, letting them shape YouTube around how they actually want to watch.

Client results

  • Real users on extension and mobile
  • Strong engagement from productivity positioning
  • Base for premium and growth experiments

Who this is for

  • Consumer & productivity founders
  • Teams shipping cross-platform tools
  • Products that need polish, not just an MVP

The problem

  • YouTube's default UX is built to maximize watch time, not focus
  • Endless Shorts, autoplay, and recommendation rabbit holes
  • No advanced audio controls or unified experience across devices

What we built

  • A volume booster and equalizer that push sound quality past YouTube's built-in limits
  • A distraction-control layer: blocking Shorts, hiding comments, killing autoplay, keyword-filtering the home feed
  • A private viewing mode that doesn't touch watch history or recommendations
  • Picture-in-Picture, one-click looping, a focus mode that dims everything but the video, and slow-motion playback
  • A rebuilt Watch Later with search, filtering, and bulk tagging
