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

Lo único que ha funcionado para hacer Instagram usable. Reels fuera, Explore fuera, suggested fuera. Solo veo a quienes sigo, que es para lo que me hice la cuenta originalmente. Meta no te deja hacer esto desde la app y por eso esta extensión existe. Imprescindible si quieres usar redes sociales en tus términos y no en los de ellos.

I have a big screen time issue with instagram especially and going through university with it isn’t super easy. I’ve tried many tools such as using the website exclusively or sheer will power for avoiding reels but it’s never worked. This overall is really good for what it does. As far as pros I mean it works for the most part (it’s only through the browser not an actual app). As for slight cons if u force scroll really hard u can scroll briefly the home page but its like a nano second. Sometimes it also shows old dms idk why. This will solve most of the problem, the other is ur own. I do wish it could be implemented in the actual app tho. Overall 4/5
