We built Clify to fix YouTube addiction - Ask us anything! 🎯

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

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!

The problem we're solving:

YouTube is designed to keep you watching. Shorts, clickbait, recommendations - all fighting for your attention. What starts as "I'll just watch one tutorial" often becomes 2 hours of mindless scrolling. We've all been there! 😅

How Clify helps:

- Automatically removes ALL YouTube Shorts (feed, sidebar, search)

- Blocks videos with keywords in 35+ languages (English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Chinese, etc.)

- One-click manual blocking with a "Hide" button on every video

- Beautiful dashboard to track your reclaimed time

- 100% private - everything runs locally in YOUR browser

What makes us different:

🇧🇩 Multi-language from day one - We built this for the global community, not just English speakers

🔒 Zero tracking - No data leaves your browser. Ever.

💝 Completely free & open source - MIT licensed, no premium tiers, no subscriptions

🌍 Works on 40+ browsers - Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and more

The numbers so far (we're humbled!):

- 5,000+ monthly active users

- 500,000+ videos blocked

- 40+ languages supported

- 4.8/5 star rating from users

- 350+ GitHub stars

We're here to answer ANYTHING:

- How does the keyword blocking work in 35+ languages?

- Why did we choose manual install over Chrome Web Store?

- What's coming next in the roadmap?

- How can you contribute?

- Technical deep-dives into the code
