Extension summary

Distractions are hidden by a simple, empty button. To show the distraction, you simply click the button.

What you hide is completely up to you. For every distraction Nudge hides, you have two options:

★ Hide the distraction at all?

★ If hiding, show the button to unhide?

Nudge comes with 14 hidden distractions across 7 sites including X, Facebook, TikTok, Bluesky and YouTube, and we’re rapidly adding to the list.

Request new sites by emailing [email protected]

Nudge puts you in the driver's seat so that distractions aren't pushed on you by default. YOU choose when you want to be distracted.

User reviews
Hey, I just wanted to say that Google removed your "Unfollow Everything" extension. I was really looking forward to trying it out. Is there any other way to get your extension? It's not here on Nudge anymore.
