Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Dipto, the creator of Clify. This started as a personal project to solve my own YouTube addiction. Like many of you, I'd open YouTube to watch one tutorial and somehow emerge 2 hours later having watched 47 Shorts, 12 reaction videos, and zero actual learning. Sound familiar? 😅 After building the first version for myself and sharing it with friends, the feedback was overwhelming: "Can it block clickbait?" "Does it work in my language?" "Can I see stats?" So I kept building. And today, Clify has evolved into something I'm really proud of: 🇧🇩 35+ languages - Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and more 🎯 500,000+ videos blocked - by our community of 5,000+ users 🔒 100% private - everything happens locally in your browser 💝 Completely free - no premium, no subscriptions, no tracking The one feature I'm most excited about: Multi-language keyword blocking. Type "movie|فيلم|फिल्म|সিনেমা" once, and Clify blocks film content in English, Arabic, Hindi, and Bengali simultaneously. Perfect for multilingual viewers! What I'd love your feedback on: • What distractions bother you most on YouTube? • What languages should we add next? • Any features you'd like to see? I'll be here all day responding to every comment. Let's make YouTube a more focused place together! 🚀 #ProductHunt #YouTube #Productivity #ChromeExtension

Common Questions

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!

How I Built Clify in 30 Days

A lot of people are asking how I built Clify. Here's the honest story:

Day 1-3: I was frustrated with YouTube Shorts. Opened VS Code, wrote 50 lines of JavaScript that hid Shorts on my browser. It worked. Barely.

Day 4-10: Shared with 5 friends. They wanted keyword blocking. Added it in a weekend.

Day 11-15: Friends shared with friends. Now 50 people using it. They wanted multi-language support. I panicked. Then built it.
