## What is FocusTube for Safari?

FocusTube is a Safari web extension companion that helps you watch YouTube with less noise—on purpose.

ON BY DEFAULT (new installs)
• Hide Shorts entry points from home, search, and navigation
• Open Shorts links in the regular player (not the Shorts feed)
• Hide feed and page promo cards
• Block video ads while watching in Safari (best-effort—not a 100% ad-free claim)

OPTIONAL FOCUS (Settings → Focus)
• Hide related videos, end screens, Mixes, comments, or the home feed—each switch is yours
• Open YouTube to Subscriptions or Library instead of Home
• Pause FocusTube anytime from the host app

SUBSCRIPTION
• Annual auto-renewing subscription. First month free if Apple says you’re eligible, then $1.99/year (or local equivalent)
• Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid renewal
• Family Sharing supported
• Payment and renewal are handled by Apple

PRIVACY
• On-device. No account required.
• No analytics or advertising tracking SDKs.
• Not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

REQUIREMENTS
• iPhone (iPad supported). Enable the FocusTube extension in Settings → Safari → Extensions and allow it for youtube.com.
• Works with YouTube in Safari (not the official YouTube app).

FocusTube is built for intentional watching—not endless scroll.
