Algoright is a browser extension that filters distracting videos and posts on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X — sorting them into 35 categories so you decide what gets through.
The feed doesn't stop competing for your attention. Algoright just stops letting it win.
This is what you'll see.

Before and after
The same feed, minus the noise.
Algoright reads each video's title, channel and metadata on your device, assigns it to one of 35 categories, then hides the ones you turned off. Nothing is deleted — you can always unhide an item. Scroll to watch it happen.

Privacy
Local-first, and specific about the exceptions.
Most extensions that touch your feed ask for a lot of access. Here is exactly what Algoright does with what it sees.
Filtering and classification run on your machine
Every rule — Shorts, comments, sponsored posts, category blocks — is applied by the extension in your browser. An on-device classifier sorts every video into a category from its title, channel and metadata. For most videos nothing leaves the page.
AI assist is opt-in, and narrow
Only the small share of titles the on-device classifier is genuinely unsure about get an AI second opinion — and only if you turn it on. We send just the title and channel name: no video, no watch history, no account identifiers.
No account needed for on-device filtering
Install and browse — on-device classification and filtering work immediately, no email or card. The optional AI assist, which sharpens the low-confidence cases, needs a free account since it's tracked per user, not per device.

AI assist is off until you switch it on, and you can switch it back off at any time. Even on, it only runs for the titles the on-device classifier is unsure about, and the request contains just a title and a channel name — nothing that identifies you.

Controls that actually stick.
Each setting is a switch you own, not a preference the algorithm can quietly override.
Smart content blocking
Turn off Shorts and Reels, comment sections, sponsored posts and recommendation rails per platform. Rules apply the moment a page loads.

AI-assisted categories
An on-device classifier sorts videos and posts into 35 categories — clickbait, gossip, politics, gaming and more. Only the ones it is genuinely unsure about get an optional AI second opinion, using just the title and channel name.
35 categories
Deep Focus mode
A stricter profile that locks the feed to the categories you choose and leaves search and subscriptions alone. Set a daily screen-time limit and Algoright enforces it.

How it works
Three steps, then forget it exists.
There is no dashboard to check in on and no account to set up. Install it, pick your filters, and keep browsing.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
Does Algoright see what I watch?
The extension reads the page you are on in order to filter it, exactly like an ad blocker does. That reading happens in your browser and is never uploaded. An on-device classifier sorts every video into a category with no network at all. Only for the small share of titles it is genuinely unsure about — and only if you turn on AI assist — do a title and channel name get sent for a category; Algoright logs that title and category to keep improving the on-device classifier, but never the video, your history, or anything identifying you.
What are the 35 categories?
They cover both the things people want to keep (Education, Programming, Science, Finance, Fitness, Cooking, Music, Documentary) and the things people usually want gone (Clickbait, Celebrity gossip, Rage bait, Sponsored, Gambling, Prank, Reaction). You choose which ones get filtered — none are blocked by default except the presets you pick.
Do I need an account?
You can install it and use on-device classification and filtering straight away with no card. The optional AI assist runs against your account, so signing in (free) is what turns it on, along with your saved settings and your stats. Pro then adds the other three platforms and cross-device sync.
What happens to filtered videos?
They are hidden from the feed, not deleted. Algoright shows a note saying how many items were hidden and why, and you can unhide any of them with a click.
Will it break YouTube or slow my browser down?
Filtering runs as each page loads and only touches feed elements, so the site keeps working normally — search, subscriptions and playback are untouched. The on-device classifier is batched to keep it light, and the feed never waits on our server.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free covers YouTube completely, forever, with all 35 categories. Pro adds TikTok, Instagram and X, plus Deep Focus Mode, daily screen-time limits, the full analytics dashboard, custom category training and multi-device sync.
Are family controls available?
Not yet. Family safety controls are in development and listed as coming soon — they are not part of Pro today, and we would rather say that plainly than imply otherwise.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes, any time, from the billing portal in your dashboard. Pro is $4.99 a month or $49 a year, and starts with a 7-day free trial.
