Focustube Distraction Blo

Block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels - and take back your focus.

FocusTube is a powerful distraction blocker and productivity extension designed to stop doomscrolling without breaking the rest of your workflow. Unlike basic site blockers, FocusTube targets short-form video feeds specifically, so you can still use social media for work, messaging, and research.

🚫 BLOCK SHORT-FORM CONTENT

• YouTube Shorts Blocker – Hide the Shorts shelf, sidebar links, and automatically redirect when opening Shorts
• Instagram Reels Blocker – Disable Reels and Stories feeds
• TikTok Feed Blocker – Block the For You page while keeping messaging accessible
• Facebook Reels Blocker – Remove Reels and short-video distractions

⏱️ BUILT-IN FOCUS TIMER (POMODORO)

• Customizable focus and break durations
• Automatically locks settings during active focus sessions
• Prevents disabling the extension mid-session

🧠 MODES FOR EVERY WORKFLOW

• Strict Mode – No bypassing, no excuses
• Warn Mode – Shows a warning with a conscious “Watch Anyway” choice
• Passive Mode – No blocking, only visual cleanup
