React hooks explained in 12 minutes
The problem
You opened YouTube to learn one thing.
One tutorial. Twelve minutes, tops. Then the feed said hello, and forty minutes later you are watching a stranger rank airport sandwiches.
8 Epic Solo Leveling Moments I Cannot Wait to See
I ate only airport sandwiches for 24 hours
useEffect, finally explained clearly

How it works
Tell YouTube why you’re here. Everything else fades away.
Same feed. Same videos. Intentube just asks the one question YouTube never does, then quietly mutes whatever has nothing to do with your answer.
Intent: nothing set, so nothing is filtered
8 videos, every one of them asking for you.

You stay in control
Strict when you need to be. Gentle when you don’t.
Certainty slider
Decide how sure the AI must be before a video fades. Loose for exploring, strict for deadlines.
Dim amount
Fade distractions to a whisper, or only a nudge. You set how loud the background gets.
Hide all Shorts
One switch removes the endless swipe from your feed entirely.
Reset to original feed
One click clears your intent and brings every video back. No lock-in.
Privacy
No backend. No tracking. Nothing to sign up for.
Everything runs inside the extension. Your key never leaves the browser except to query the AI service you chose. The extension asks for permission to store your settings and to reach api.typesafe.ai — nothing else.
Open YouTube. Say why. Stay on purpose.
