Show HN: I built a cleaner YouTube – no ads, sponsors, or doomscrolling
Hi HN!

I built SkipCut

it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login.

Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters.

Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait.

I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like: https://skipcut.com?list=xyz123 It plays only those videos and stops the doomscrolling.

Just replace youtube with skipcut in the URL of any video Example: https://www.skipcut.com/watch?v=abc123

No signup required

Would love your feedback, ideas, and bug reports!
