“YouTube has redesigned itself 4 times in 2 years. I had zero say in any of it. I just want my homepage back.”

Tell Mirage what should change. It reshapes the live page, lets you refine it, and saves the version you want.
How it works
Here is YouTube. One sentence becomes the version that loads when you come back.
Describe a change on any site. No CSS, no settings menus, no theme picker.

Built with the community
The internet has been complaining about this for years. We're just building the thing.
Made for real requests
The web is full of small frustrations. Mirage turns a plain request into a version of the page that works better for you.
YouTube
Hide Shorts and make subscriptions easier to scan.
Gmail
Make the inbox calmer and keep priority mail in view.
Show posts from people I follow before suggested content.
Use a denser feed with fewer interruptions.
Spotify
Make my library easier to browse and sort.
GitHub
Keep issues and pull requests compact and keyboard friendly.
Works on the live page
Mirage works on the page in your Chrome tab, including sites you are signed into. These are examples, not an allowlist.
Sites people reshape
Browsers
Save it once. It comes back.
Your saved look loads the next time you open that site. No redoing it.
Bring your scripts
Import from Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey, then refine your scripts in plain English inside Mirage.
Your imported scripts run alongside looks you create in Mirage. No separate userscript manager to keep open.

FAQ
Plain answers about how Create, Preview, Save, and Gallery work.

Tell me what you'd reshape first, what's missing, or how you'd build it. I read every message myself.
We're early and would rather build Mirage with people than in a vacuum.
We read every message and reply within a day or two.
