SmartYouTubeFeed

A lightweight browser extension that helps you spend less time on distracting content and more time on videos that actually matter.

SmartYouTubeFeed intelligently filters your YouTube recommendations using a customizable scoring system designed to prioritize educational, technical, and high-value content while hiding low-signal distractions.

Whether you're trying to learn faster, stay focused, or reduce algorithm-driven doomscrolling, SmartYouTubeFeed helps reshape your feed without completely changing your interests.

What it does

Every recommended video is analyzed based on:

Video title
Channel name
Duration

Videos associated with educational, technical, scientific, analytical, or productive topics are prioritized.

Videos associated with clickbait, low-value entertainment, ragebait, gossip, or other distracting content can be hidden automatically.

The result is a feed that feels cleaner, calmer, and significantly more intentional.
