Hide distractions on websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit 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.

Social Focus 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.
