The Problem

  • 🧐 There are many extensions that block YouTube, but I can't block it completely because I need it for work.
  • 😸 I use YouTube to learn and relax. But, often, when it's time to learn, it's easy to get distracted and relax!
  • 🎰 YouTube shows me more content than what I came for, and I end up spending more time than I intended.

The Solution

  • 🧙 Only block the distracting parts.
  • 🧱 Create schedules for different activities that block or allow different channels. If I'm watching a video from a channel that doesn't belong to the current activity, block it.
  • 🙈 Hide the distracting elements of YouTube with a magic button.

Outcomes

Give Commands to YouTube



Do you need help...

  • going to sleep on time?
  • focusing on work or study when it's time to?
  • taking breaks and touching grass occasionally?

With Time BOSS, you can create commands that help you with all of these and more.



Simply,

  • Specify which channels to block or allow.
  • Set a daily time limit, or trigger rules automatically with schedules.
  • Boom! You can now enjoy YouTube distraction-free.

In Action



Your word is law. When you try to watch a video from a channel that isn't allowed at the moment by your commands, Time BOSS won't let you deviate from the right path 😜

Others

With Time BOSS, you can also easily hide the most distracting sections of YouTube! I haven't included screenshots of this feature here, but you can check it yourself by downloading and trying out the extension.
