YouTube sponsors on iPhone finally pushed me to make Mira
Watching YouTube on iPhone felt way more annoying than it needed to be. I wanted a cleaner way to watch videos, skip the interruptions, and actually find the parts I care about.
Mira automatically skips sponsors, intros, outros, recaps, and other interruptions. You choose which categories get skipped.
It also has:
* searchable YouTube transcripts, with timestamp jumping
* AI summaries for long videos
* Focus Mode to hide recommendations/comments
* YouTube dislike count
* Watch Together rooms for synced viewing with friends
* playback speed controls
* support for other video sites too
I also made a feature comparison chart against popular iOS YouTube alternative apps like Video Lite, ProTube, Tube PiP, YouPlay, SwizzTube, etc. A lot of these apps solve one specific part of the problem. Mira is trying to bring more of that together in one place, and with a more polished feel: cleaner UI, smoother navigation, and an experience where things just work the way you expect.
Mira also works on iPad and Mac. There are subscription and lifetime options. One purchase unlocks all platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac).
Mira has a free trial, so give it one video. If you’ve wanted a cleaner, less distracting YouTube experience on iPhone, Mira might be worth trying.
