What usually pulls you into an unintended YouTube session?

Hi Product Hunt!

I built Sanctum after noticing that my problem wasn’t YouTube itself. It was the moment when one intentional video quietly turned into 30 minutes of recommendations, Shorts, or aimless browsing.

Sanctum doesn’t completely block YouTube. Instead, it adds small pauses at the moments when you’re most likely to slip into autopilot, so you can decide whether you actually want to keep watching.

I’d love to hear about your experience:

What pulls you in most often — homepage recommendations, Shorts, autoplay, or something else?

And do you prefer strict blockers, or lighter interventions that preserve your choice?

Sanctum is free and will remain free. Honest feedback is very welcome, including whether the pauses feel genuinely helpful or simply annoying.

Thanks for taking a look!
