*NOTE: WORKS WITHIN SAFARI, NOT THE APPS*: This app lets you control how YouTube, LinkedIn, etc. appears in the Safari browser. It does NOT change the apps, as this is not possible.
To make using e.g. Instagram in the browser as convenient as the app, create an icon on your home screen to take you directly to the site in the browser. You can find instructions for how to do so at redd-project.org/mindshield
----
ReDD Focus (formerly known as 'Viking Focus' and 'MindShield') is a browser extension for Safari we built to help ourselves be less distracted online.
It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with ready-made options for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Search, and WhatsApp Web. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, and on Google Search you might want to hide or highligt ads.
You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to select elements to hide, and save your preferred settings. To help hold yourself accountable, you can also add a delay time to change the settings.
Everywhere you go on the internet, something tries to grab your attention. This extension gives you back control. Enjoy!

NOTE: the extension is open source and collects zero user data. See the source code, flag bugs, or submit suggestions for improvement at https://github.com/ulyngs/reddfocus-open-source}

Hi folks,
this update brings some quality-of-life improvements:
1. **Clearer instructions**: When you first open ReDD Focus, we have made some visual instructions that hopefully will you get you instantly up and running with the extension!
2. **Name & edit your custom selectors**: Custom elements previously was only shown with whatever mysterious CSS selector was used to hide them. You can now provide your own name to any hidden element (e.g. 'Instagram Reels') and it'll be shown instead of the CSS. You can also make direct adjustments to the CSS if you're a power user!
3. **Various minor improvements**: The google ads background highlighting is now nicer to look at.
Please note that in this update we've also deprecated the direct ability to hide ads on Google --- this app is not meant to undermine developers' business models, it is only meant to help you hide elements that does not work for your attentional vulnerabilities. If you look up how to inspect the elements on a web page, you can still make any modifications you would like, using the new ability to edit CSS selectors directly.

Hi folks,
this update... drumroll ... changes the name to 'ReDD Focus' and gives it an even cooler ship icon! ('ReDD' stands for 'Reduce Digital Distraction)
Also, fixes a number of pieces of functionality that had broken over time, due to various website changes.
As always, remember that the extension is open source. Keep your suggestions coming at: https://github.com/ulyngs/reddfocus-open-source
Enjoy!
