## Description

<strong>Fovely blocks distractions, not websites.</strong>

Most blockers take YouTube away completely, including the tutorial you actually need. Fovely works the other way round: tell it what you're working on, and during your focus session it hides only what doesn't fit.

<strong>How it works</strong>
<ul><li>Type your goal ("Learn React hooks", "Write the quarterly report") and pick 25, 50 or 90 minutes, or until you stop.</li><li>On YouTube, videos that don't fit your goal are blurred, and off-goal watch pages are paused behind a calm overlay. On-goal videos stay as they are.</li><li>Shorts are hidden while you focus.</li><li>Something useful got caught? Allow it with one click, or take a 5-minute break.</li><li><strong>Weekly leaderboard:</strong> join with a nickname and compare focus time with friends.</li></ul>
<strong>Fovely Pro</strong>
<ul><li><strong>Every website</strong>, not just YouTube: off-goal pages are paused too.</li><li><strong>Reddit, X and Instagram, post by post:</strong> off-goal posts are hidden in your feed. Posts are judged by their text and image descriptions; ones with neither are hidden. Instagram's Reels tab is paused while you focus.</li><li><strong>Strict mode:</strong> no allowing, no breaks, no ending early.</li><li><strong>Scheduled sessions</strong> that start on their own.</li><li><strong>Always-allowed and always-blocked sites.</strong></li><li><strong>Progress:</strong> history, a weekly goal, levels, streaks and badges.</li><li>Unlimited checks, and settings that follow you between devices.</li></ul>
<strong>Free:</strong> YouTube, 300 checks a day. <strong>Pro:</strong> $4 a month or $36 a year (€3.99 / €35.99 in the eurozone), sold through Paddle.

<strong>Privacy</strong>

Fovely only looks at titles (video titles, channel names, page titles and short descriptions, and with Pro the first lines and image descriptions of Reddit, X and Instagram posts), only during a focus session, and doesn't keep them. It never reads full URLs, the rest of a page, post authors or your browsing history. No ads, no tracking, no selling of data. If a check fails, Fovely shows the content rather than hiding it. Sign-in is with Google. Details in the <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/db0579cf5851832e860e88d905c435ca3c0fe34f909dcb775dc3470cc0ee5011/https%3A//fovely.app/privacy" rel="nofollow">privacy policy</a>.
