Simplify

Overwhelmed by websites with a lot going on?


Bright colors, flashing videos, cluttered images—try simplify! simplify is a user-friendly tool designed to declutter overwhelming web interfaces and provide a clean, neurodivergent-friendly reading experience.

• Removes images, bright colors, and videos.
