On social media sites, the Algo-Free mode hides the algorithmic content. On social media sites it hides the algorithmic feed. On video sites it makes sure that you will not fall into a binge-watching hole, but still allows you to watch specific videos that you search up. On news sites you can hide the newsfeed but still read articles from links.

On select website you can customize your own algorithm! Describe what you want to see on your feed and Antidote will make it happen.

I really appreciate the concept behind Antidote. Too often I get distracted by useful tools that come with algorithm-driven, distracting content (wasted a lot of time on mindless scrolling). Antidote helps me stay focused on what truly matters and keeps me on track with my goals!

Thank you for making this. I just installed it, and can already tell it is going to be so helpful. The fact I can visit the biggest time-waster sites and not see any distracting information, only the information I need, is amazing!
