Kempt on a YouTube watch page

What it does

  1. Watch page

    Comments one click away

    Info, Comments, Videos, Live chat and Ask AI share one panel beside the player. Only the open tab scrolls, so the video stays in view. Comment sort becomes two chips, Watch later gets its own button, and the seek bar can ripple as a wave.

    How it works
    Comments one click away
  2. Captions

    Subtitles you can read

    Captions in your font, white and semibold, sized to the player. Pick a soft shadow, a dark box or a blurred plate, at any size from 50 to 200%. They slide up out of the way when the controls show.

    How it works
    Subtitles you can read
  3. Subscriptions

    Your feed, by day

    Uploads sit under date headers on a timeline: Today, Yesterday, 2 weeks ago. Chips filter All, Videos, Live and Shorts; the search box filters by title or channel. History gets the same headers.

    How it works
    Your feed, by day
  4. Look

    One accent, one icon set

    Chips, tabs, the progress bar and Subscribe share one color, and you pick it. A single icon set replaces YouTube's three in buttons and menus, drawn over YouTube's own so they keep working. The search bar becomes one outlined pill, and all text is set in Plus Jakarta Sans or a font you pick.

    How it works
    One accent, one icon set
  5. Shorts

    Shorts, gone

    Shorts shelves disappear from Home, Subscriptions, search and channels. A Shorts link opens in the normal player, with a seek bar.

    How it works
    Shorts, gone
