[iOS, iPadOS] No Shorts for YouTube (Parental Control in Safari) $0 (Was $1.99) @ Apple App Store

Made this iOS app myself for my children to stop Youtube Shorts doomscrolling and any unwanted video or channel on iPad (or iPhone) as I can't find anything in similar size (tiny 800kb) with clean minimalist UI.

So in brief this is a small Safari web browser extension that strips YouTube Shorts out of the feed, sidebar, search and recommendations, and sends any Shorts link to the normal player. It features:

1) Passcode Lock - so your kids will not be able to alter your settings.
2) Whitelist / Blocklist - block any brian-rot / AI slop video by word(s) (e.g. title or channel name).
3) Lightning fast - tiny app size and barely noticeable runnning in the background.

Heads up: it's a Safari extension, so it only works on YouTube in Safari. You should delete standalone YouTube app and pairs with "Screen Time" parental control, so kids can only watch Youtube thru Safari. The "Screen Time" control will also disable any attempt to remove the extension, so kids must watch "filtered" and clean Youtube thru Safari.

Free until 16th July and $1.99 afterwards (the small monies to go towards my children fund of Timezone =)).

Hope this helps all parents. Happy to answer questions in the comments — I'm the dev.
