I am launching NoSuggest tomorrow. A completely free, distraction-free YouTube client that removes the recommendation algorithm entirely.
No suggested videos. No auto-play. No Shorts spiral. No sidebar. No account. No data collected. No what's next recommendations. No notification. Just the channels you follow and nothing else.
The thing I built it around: it works on mobile. Browser extensions can't do that. That's where most doom scrolling actually happens.
NoSuggest removes YouTube's recommendation algorithm entirely. No suggested videos, no auto-play, no Shorts spiral, no sidebar, no doom scrolling, no notifications, no ads from us, no account, no sign-in, no data collected.
Add the channels you follow. Watch what you came for. Leave.
Works on mobile, something no browser extension can do. Installs as a PWA directly from the browser. No App Store needed.
Kids mode: add approved channels, lock with a PIN. Completely free and source-available.
