Everything you need to stay focused

Built for people who want their attention back — not another subscription.

Per-section Control

Toggle headers, sidebars, recommendations, stories, and reels individually. You decide exactly what stays visible.

Auto-Block Schedule

Set working hours (e.g. 9am–5pm, Mon–Fri) and let the extension automatically block distractions during focus time.

Profiles & Presets

Save named configurations like "Deep Work" or "Casual Browse" and switch between them instantly.

Element Picker

Click any element on any page to instantly add it to your block list — no coding or CSS knowledge needed.

Keyboard Shortcut

Press Alt+Shift+D to instantly toggle blocking on the current site — no popup needed.

Privacy First

No tracking, no data collection. All settings stay local and sync privately across your Chrome devices.

What's included

Clean, focused by design

A minimal popup that gets out of your way.

Per-site master switch

Disable all blocking for a site with one toggle, without losing your settings.

Custom CSS selectors

Advanced users can write their own selectors to hide anything on any page.

URL pattern matching

Apply rules only on specific pages — block on /feed but not on your profile.

Usage statistics

See how many elements have been hidden this session and across all time.

Light & dark theme

The popup adapts to your preference — switch between dark and light with one click.

Full settings page

A dedicated options page for managing sites, schedule, profiles, and statistics in one place.
