What it does
Hides Shorts everywhere
Feed shelves, search results, channel pages, related videos, and the Shorts tab itself. Gone. All of it.
One big red button
Tap the circle to pause, tap it again to resume. That’s the whole manual. You’ve already finished it.
Counts your dodges
Every Short that never reached your eyeballs is tallied: lifetime, today, and your day streak.
Pick your battles
Fine-tune where Shorts disappear. Playables are hidden by default, while community posts are yours to opt into.
Private by design
No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Optional bug reports contain element names only, never what you watched.
Native & featherweight
A real Safari extension: no proxy, no VPN, no weird permissions. YouTube just loads with less clutter.
Have a look
Warm, round, and mercifully free of Shorts.
FAQ
No. Shortless is a Safari extension, so it works on youtube.com in Safari. The good news: youtube.com in Safari is genuinely great, and with Shortless it’s even better.
Shortless just tidies the page in your browser, the way reader modes and content blockers do. Nothing is sent to YouTube, and your account is untouched.
None. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. If you opt in to anonymous reports, they contain page element names only, never what you watched, searched, or who you are.
YouTube shuffles its page markup regularly. When a Short sneaks past, the app shows a review card: you can see the exact anonymous payload and choose to send it, which helps us patch the gap.
Tap the big circle. Tap it again when you’ve remembered what the Shorts feed is actually like.
Yup.
Your video. Minus the detour.
We’ll quietly keep the Shorts out of sight and count every one you dodge.
