I'm Dipto, a developer from Bangladesh. I've been lurking here for a while, learning from all of you, and finally decided to introduce myself and share something I've been working on.
Q: Why manual install? A: Great question! YouTube has strict policies on content blockers. Manual install lets us stay 100% transparent and avoid any risk of being taken down. Plus, it's actually super easy - just 2 minutes!
Q: How does multi-language blocking work? A: We use Unicode normalization and language-agnostic pattern matching. So when you type "movie| | | ", Clify blocks content in English, Arabic, Hindi, and Bengali simultaneously. Magic!
Q: Is it really free forever? A: YES! No premium tiers, no subscriptions, no tracking. We believe digital wellness shouldn't be a luxury. If you want to support us, star on GitHub or contribute translations!
I'm Dipto, the creator of Clify. Along with our amazing community of contributors, we've been working on this for the past year, and we're so excited to finally launch on Product Hunt!
Clify transforms YouTube into a productivity tool by automatically removing Shorts, blocking clickbait videos based on keywords, and hiding distracting content. With intelligent filtering, multi-language support, and one-click blocking, Clify helps millions of users reclaim their time and focus on what matters.
If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.
YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.
