What Focusium hides on YouTube
- The home feed. In its place: “Your feed is resting while you focus. Search for what you came for.”
- The related videos beside the one you’re watching.
- The comments.
- The Shorts shelves, and the Shorts link in the menu.
- The suggestions at the end of a video.
When you open a Short
A hidden Short would keep playing its sound, so Focusium pauses the video behind a small card instead, and you decide whether to watch it. The same goes for Reels on Instagram and Facebook, and for Facebook Watch.
Feeds on other sites
Focusium hides feeds on Reddit, X, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn too.
Sites change their layouts often, so this works on a best-effort basis. If something shows up again after a redesign, tell us.
While you focus, or always
In the settings, Hide feeds starts at During focus. Switch it to Always to keep feeds hidden all the time.
During a focus, YouTube itself waits unless you chose it or a video is linked from one of your sites.
