How it works
What it does
You write your goals in plain words. On YouTube's home feed and sidebar, every video starts blurred. The extension sends its title, channel, length and view count to Jev, a TypeSafe model that answers one question: does this video serve this goal?
Clear matches get an On goal badge. Clear misses are removed. Anything in between is shown as usual.
You stay in control
You can reveal what was filtered and see why. Any video can be kept or hidden by hand from its three-dot menu. Shorts, playlists and ads can be removed without scoring, and so can whole channels or languages.
When most of what YouTube offers is rejected, a notice above the feed says so and gives you a search for each goal. What you watch next shapes what YouTube recommends after.
A dashboard shows what got through, by goal and over time.
Install
- Download the repository and unzip it.
- Open
chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, choose Load unpacked and pick theextensionfolder. - In the setup page that opens, paste a key from console.typesafe.ai, write your goals and set a daily limit.
Until setup is saved, YouTube looks as usual. Desktop Chrome only.
What it costs
The extension is free. Scoring uses your own TypeSafe key: one call per video per goal, with scores cached for 30 days. A long evening with three goals can use a few thousand calls. You set a daily limit, and past it new videos stay blurred until the next day.
What leaves your browser
Each video's title, channel, length and view count, with your goal text, sent to TypeSafe. No cookies, account details or watch history. Your key, scores and history stay in your Chrome profile.
