YouTube Focus AI Warden — Vincent Gimenes

YouTube Focus AI Warden

Do you open YouTube with one goal in mind—only to end up watching something completely different?
YouTube Focus AI Warden helps you stay aligned with your original intent by filtering the videos shown in your feed.

Instead of getting lost in endless recommendations, this extension keeps your homepage, subscriptions, and playlists focused on the content that matches your chosen purpose. Whether you come to YouTube to learn, to work, or to relax, YouTube Focus AI Warden helps you avoid distractions and stay on track.

⚙️ How it works

When you arrive on YouTube, a small popup lets you set your intent (e.g., “learn Python” or “focus on fitness”).

Each video card (title, channel, duration, etc.) is analyzed.

Videos that do not match your intent are lightly blurred with an overlay, so you can “Show anyway” if you choose.

The filtering runs in real-time as you scroll through your feed.

🔒 Privacy & security

Your intent and preferences are stored only in your browser (chrome.storage.sync).

Video data (title, channel, etc.) is sent securely to our Cloudflare proxy for AI classification.

No personal data is collected, and no external scripts are injected.

If the AI is unavailable, the extension fails open—your feed stays unchanged.
