Hey Product Hunt! You didn't choose this path to be a consumer. You chose it to be a creator. But you know the exact feeling. You sit down at your desk. You open CapCut or Resolve. You stare at that heavy, unedited timeline, and before you even make the first cut, this quiet wave of resistance hits you. You tell yourself: "Let me just hop on YouTube real quick. Just for one reference video. Just for a spark of inspiration." Harmless, right? And just like that, you're gone. A random thumbnail. A 15-second Short. Forty minutes have quietly disappeared. Your timeline is still empty. Your creative energy is gone. And that familiar knot of guilt is back in your stomach. But let's be honest: as an editor, you actually need YouTube. It's your reference library, your inspiration board, your asset pool. The problem isn't YouTube itself. it's that everything around the search bar is built to keep you scrolling, not to help you finish the clip you came for. Meet CutFocus: Built For Editors Who Want Their Focus Back. This isn't another bloated productivity app with a dashboard you'll never open. It's a small, focused tool built by an editor, for editors who are tired of watching their sessions disappear before they even start. We keep what you actually need, and quietly remove the rest. The YouTube Sandbox: Strips out the home feed, the Shorts shelf, and the recommended-videos rail. What's left is a clean research zon, search still works exactly like normal, you just lose the rabbit hole around it. Built-In Flow State: Save clips with timestamps instantly, keep project notes, and pull stock footage right where you're working. No more drowning in fifty browser tabs to do three small things. Instant Execution: CutFocus switches on the moment your editor opens. No extra step, no remembering to turn it on, you just sit down and you're already in the zone. Imagine Closing Your Laptop at a Normal Hour, Actually Done. What if sitting down to edit didn't feel like a small daily fight against your own impulses? Imagine finishing a session not because you rushed, but because the background noise was just... gone. Imagine shutting your laptop at a reasonable hour, having actually made progress, instead of having fed an algorithm for free. This was never about willpower. You just needed the fifty tiny invitations to leave removed from the one place you have to keep visiting anyway. The Launch Special: Lifetime Access I built CutFocus because I lived this exact frustration, and wanted a permanent fix, not another monthly subscription. To mark the public launch, lifetime access is available for a fraction of what it'll cost later. Standard Lifetime Price: $199 Launch Special Price: $39.99 (one-time payment, yours forever) ⏳ The 14-Day Launch Window Is Running This price is only locked in during the first two weeks after launch. Once the countdown ends, it goes back up to $199 for good. If this sounds like your Tuesday, give it a shot.
