FocusTube - Block Shorts, Reels, Feed & TikTok geliştiren: Malek Wael

FocusTube helps you reduce short-form and social media distractions without blocking entire websites.

It is designed for people who still need to use platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn, but want to avoid getting pulled into endless feeds, Shorts, Reels, and recommendations.

Main features:

• Block YouTube Shorts
• Block Instagram Reels and Explore
• Block TikTok feed/video distractions
• Block Facebook Reels
• Hide LinkedIn feed distractions
• Hide distracting navigation buttons and visual clutter
• Use Strict Mode for immediate blocking
• Use Warn Mode to show a conscious “Watch Anyway” warning
• Use Passive Mode when you want no intervention
• Start a focus timer to lock in distraction blocking during work sessions
• Customize platform-specific settings from the popup and options page

FocusTube is useful for studying, deep work, exam season, remote work, coding, research, and anyone trying to reduce short-form content distractions while still keeping useful parts of each website accessible.
