Features & Capabilities

Stop doom-scrolling. Start focusing.

GrayMode removes color from distracting websites, making them boring enough to leave. When social media loses its visual appeal, you naturally spend less time scrolling and more time working.

How it works

Bright colors trigger dopamine and keep you hooked. GrayMode applies a grayscale filter to the sites you choose, reducing visual stimulation and helping you break the endless scroll loop.

Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Netflix, Discord, Telegram, and more.

Is GrayMode Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GrayMode requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
