Features & Capabilities

SocialFocus helps you reclaim attention by selectively hiding distracting elements on websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Gmail. Rather than blocking entire sites, it lets you tailor exactly which feeds, shorts, stories, and ads appear, helping you focus while still accessing valuable content.

Features include startup settings, Import/Export, and a PRO version with extra options like hotkey configuration and settings synchronization. Important: This extension works only on websites in Safari and is not an app blocker.

User Reviews

Reviewers praise SocialFocus for being easy to use, effective, and offering a one-time fee with strong focus-blocking and customization. It works as a browser extension on iOS and macOS, helping reduce doomscrolling and improve mental focus. However, users report inconsistent blocking, drift after site updates, and occasional interference with normal site interactions. Some dislike the shift to a subscription model. Platform-specific issues on Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, and related content blocks also recur, highlighting reliability and scope limitations.

Pros

Easy to use and effective at blocking distractions
One-time fee / good value (not a subscription)
Browser-based extension that works on iOS and macOS (Safari)
Granular customization and control over what to block
Helps reduce doomscrolling and improve focus and mental well-being (time back)

Cons

Blocking can be inconsistent and sites may drift with updates; fixes can be slow
Not a native app; can interfere with certain site actions (e.g., copy link menus, downloads) on Facebook/YouTube
Gaps in blocking on major sites (Instagram reels/shorts, related content, explore button) and some elements still visible
Pricing has shifted toward a subscription model, causing frustration for users who liked the one-time fee
Occasional site-specific edge cases (old DMs showing, UI glitches) and general reliability issues across platforms

Recent reviews

Most sites are ridiculously bloated with extra buttons, recommendations, and clutter taking up screen real estate these days. This app does a fantastic job cleaning up Reddit and Facebook for me. I already use UnTrap from the same developer for YouTube, and this brings similar features to the other sites. Great app overall, I hope the dev keeps adding toggles to hide new nonsense as sites keep updating!
