Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Josh, founder of Obserra.

We spend so much time on YouTube every day, often without noticing. YouTube adds invasive recommendations, and UI which makes people spend more time than they intend to, wasting more time which could be spent building or chasing your dreams.

Obserra lets you customize and declutter YouTube so you can focus on what matters most - learning, creating, or chasing your goals.

✨ Key Features
1. Completely disable YouTube shorts on YouTube - We're the first which can entirely hide all shorts from YouTube
2. Limit Recommended videos - As soon as you visit YouTube you're bombarded with videos to watch, prevent doomscrolling by setting a limit on how many videos show on the homepage
3. Hide Sidebar recommended videos - Don't get distracted to watch more videos by only showing the video you want to watch

and 10+ more productivity-focused features to help you regain focus and save time.

I built this since I noticed I was spending so much time on YouTube and have managed to help 500+ users save 1.5 hours per week on average.
