Works well

Gets rid of those hideous thumbnails.

No longer works

DeArrow no longer works in Safari for iOS. Clickbait thumbnails appear regardless of extension being on or off, even with all other extensions disabled. Can’t recommend.

Wouldn’t want to miss it

DeArrow and Sponsorblock made me switch from the Youtube App to exclusively using Youtube in Safari with these two Apps.

When it works, it works but not lately

So this app has been getting worse and worse lately over the past few months, even after updating my app, it is becoming increasingly harder to use with my personal settings of having a button to toggle the updated video titles over the clickbait ones.

I will press multiple times, and the text will not show. It just opens up the description for the video instead and doesn’t allow me to see the non clickbait title.

FAQ

What is DeArrow's primary function?

DeArrow's main purpose is to crowdsource better titles and thumbnails for YouTube videos. Users can submit and vote on these improvements to combat clickbait and sensationalism.

How does DeArrow handle titles when no crowdsourced option is available?

When no crowdsourced title is available, DeArrow can auto-format the original title according to your settings. It supports sophisticated casing systems like 'Title Case' and 'Sentence case' while preserving acronyms and proper names.

What kind of thumbnails does DeArrow use by default?

By default, DeArrow shows a screenshot from a random timestamp in the video as the thumbnail. It checks the SponsorBlock database to ensure the randomized thumbnail is not within a sponsor segment.

How is DeArrow different from Clickbait Remover for YouTube?

Unlike Clickbait Remover, DeArrow's core focus is on crowdsourcing titles and thumbnails. Its title formatting is more advanced, and its thumbnail selection is truly random, avoiding algorithmically chosen thumbnails that might favor overstimulating features.

What devices does DeArrow support?

DeArrow is available for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod. It functions as a browser extension, primarily used on desktop browsers.

DeArrow is a paid application, priced at $1.99. This one-time purchase grants access to its features.
