SocialFocus: Hide Distractions

Description

Hide distractions on websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, Gmail and take back control of your attention! While we acknowledge the distracting and engrossing nature of these sites, completely blocking them is not always feasible due to the valuable content they offer. This Safari extension allows you to selectively hide attention-grabbing components on each site. For instance, on YouTube, you have the option to conceal recommended videos, shorts, comments, and more. Similarly, on Facebook and Instagram, you can hide the feed, reels, stories, and other elements. The same goes for each supported site. Furthermore, SocialFocus offers an array of supplementary features, including Startup Settings, Import / Export and more. Users who want to support the development of the project can additionally subscribe to the PRO version. The PRO version will give access to some additional features that are not available in the standard version, such as hotkey configuration, settings synchronization and some others. NOTE: This extension does NOT work with the apps, it works only for websites while using the Safari browser. Terms Of Use: https://socialfocus.app/tos/

  Works great, disappointing that updates are being gated behind a subscription

  On the whole works great to cleanup Twitter/Reddit but the fact that Codebase Updates are behind a subscription is pretty disappointing.

  Works Brilliantly

  This is the best app/extension for limiting the features on social media websites! None of the other extensions available on platforms like the Chrome Web Store work as well as this. It’s a must-have.!

  the first app I always install, gave me my life back

  I never write reviews for anything, but I just wanted to express my appreciation to the developer. Your app gave me my life back. Thank you so much. My screen time has gone down significantly and I feel like my interactions with social media are more significant. I spend 15 minutes a day only and I maximize my time. Initially, it was something I had to try really hard to do. But now it comes easy. Thank you, I wish all the best in the world to this developer, ❤️

  La primera vez que dejo una reseña

  Lo único que ha funcionado para hacer Instagram usable. Reels fuera, Explore fuera, suggested fuera. Solo veo a quienes sigo, que es para lo que me hice la cuenta originalmente. Meta no te deja hacer esto desde la app y por eso esta extensión existe. Imprescindible si quieres usar redes sociales en tus términos y no en los de ellos.

  The best you’re gonna find for iOS

  I have a big screen time issue with instagram especially and going through university with it isn’t super easy. I’ve tried many tools such as using the website exclusively or sheer will power for avoiding reels but it’s never worked. This overall is really good for what it does. As far as pros I mean it works for the most part (it’s only through the browser not an actual app). As for slight cons if u force scroll really hard u can scroll briefly the home page but its like a nano second. Sometimes it also shows old dms idk why. This will solve most of the problem, the other is ur own. I do wish it could be implemented in the actual app tho. Overall 4/5

  Amazing Feauture

  Very Easy to use, works like magic, would recommend it to anyone. (Would also recommend adding a password and having someone create the password so that you don't know it!)

  Many sites are out of date

  Updated in response to dev reply: Many of the issues I saw are fixed. This is definitely a cat-and-mouse type solution, so it’s reasonable for function drift to occur, but if it stays broken for a few months it is hard to recommend purchase at that time. Bump from 2 to 4 stars, it’d be 5 if update cycles were more frequent and fixes were listed. I found this app incredibly useful and absolutely worth the money, but it is currently lagging behind the obnoxious features of many sites. Reddit has unhandled distracting elements, and HackerNews is essentially completely broken. For example, currently it blocks Related Posts but does not have a feature for Related Answers, a newer distracting element in the site. It also omits some obvious preexisting features, like an inability to disable Join Subreddit buttons, though it has options for others. Great, but not a complete solution.

  Perfect for safari

  I love using this for safari since it’s the only way I access social media on my phone. Thank you for this app it’s very helpful for me. If you are like me and don’t use the annoying phone apps this will be perfect for you.
