## Description

Focus Mode for IG turns Instagram on the web into a calm, curated space. Instead of blocking everything, YOU decide what you actually want to see — the rest is filtered out.

What you control:
- Curated Home feed: show only posts from the accounts you allow.
- Hashtag blocking: hide any post whose caption contains a hashtag you don't want.
- AI content blocking: hide posts Instagram labels as AI-generated.
- Section blocks: send Reels, Explore, Stories and single posts straight to Messages.
- Profile scroll-lock: open a profile to read it and message the person, but no endless scrolling.

Everything is adjustable from a simple settings page. Messages and Search always stay fully functional.

Privacy: runs entirely locally. It stores only your own settings, in your browser, and sends no data anywhere.
