Focustube Distraction Blo

FocusTube is a distraction blocker that helps you stay focused by reducing short-form content and social media distractions across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Instead of blocking entire websites, FocusTube targets the distracting parts: YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok feeds, Facebook Reels, LinkedIn Feed, Stories, Reels buttons, and other attention-grabbing sections.

Key features:

• Block YouTube Shorts
• Block Instagram Reels and Explore
• Block TikTok distractions
• Block Facebook Reels
• Hide LinkedIn Feed distractions
• Hide distracting buttons, feeds, stories, 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
• Use the built-in focus timer to stay locked in during study or work sessions
• Customize blocking and visual hiding settings per platform

FocusTube is useful for students, remote workers, developers, researchers, and anyone who wants to reduce doomscrolling, avoid short-form video distractions, and stay productive online without losing access to useful parts of each website.

Supported platforms:

• YouTube
• Instagram
• TikTok
• Facebook
• LinkedIn

Privacy:

FocusTube is local-first. Settings and stats are stored in your browser’s local storage. The extension does not include analytics, telemetry, or a project-controlled backend for sending your browsing data to the developer.

Websites like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn update often, so some blocking or hiding behavior may occasionally need updates. If something breaks, please report it on GitHub.
