TrueTone vs YouTube's Restricted Mode

Restricted Mode is YouTube's own setting, and it works by hiding entire videos it flags as mature — not by editing what's said inside them.

Common questions

Why not just turn on Restricted Mode?

Restricted Mode hides whole videos flagged as mature — including ones that are mostly fine except for a word or two. That means the video your family actually wanted to watch just disappears, instead of playing with the word muted.

Does TrueTone replace Restricted Mode?

TrueTone solves a different, narrower problem: it doesn't decide which videos to show — it mutes specific flagged words inside whatever video you're already watching. You can run both if you want video-level and word-level filtering together.

Does this send my data anywhere?

No. Filtering happens entirely on your device. TrueTone doesn't send your viewing history, captions, or personal data to any server.
