Features & Capabilities

FocusTube blocks distracting short-form videos, feeds, and navigation elements across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn—without blocking access to the websites themselves. Hide Shorts, Reels, Explore, Stories, feeds, and other endless-scroll entry points while keeping useful content available.

Choose Strict, Warn, or Passive Mode, and use the built-in focus and break timer to support studying, coding, research, work, and mindful browsing. FocusTube runs locally, stores settings and statistics in browser storage, includes no analytics or telemetry, and is free and open source.
