You opened YouTube for one clip.
That was forty minutes ago.
CutFocus strips the homepage feed, Shorts, and suggested videos out of YouTube, so the search bar is the only thing left to pull you in.
The rabbit hole isn't an accident.
You go to YouTube to find one reference clip. The homepage, the sidebar, and Shorts are all built by the same recommendation engine, one that's optimized to keep you watching, not to help you leave.
For an editor mid-project, that's not a distraction. It's a leak in your schedule, every single day.
Same tab. Different mission.
Everything you don't need to make an editorial decision, gone. Everything you do — search, thumbnails, the player — stays untouched.
Built for the way editors actually work.
Focus Mode
Hides the homepage feed, Shorts shelf, and suggested-videos rail on YouTube. Search keeps working exactly as before.
Auto-detect
Opens automatically the moment you launch Premiere, DaVinci, CapCut, Vegas, or Final Cut. No manual toggling.
App Blocker
Pick the apps that pull your attention. CutFocus keeps them minimized while you work, nothing force-closed, nothing lost.
One switch, 10-second exit
Turning Focus Mode on is instant. Turning it off takes a 10-second hold, just enough friction to stop a reflex click.
Clips & Notes & Templates
Save the video you're on with its exact timestamp, add a quick note, browse between templates (Fair Use of Disclaimers) and jump straight back to it later.
Stock media search
Search free stock footage from Pexels and Pixabay at once, right inside the app, and download straight into your project folder.
Pay once. Focus forever.
