About this extension
Stop Doomscrolling. Reclaim Your Focus.

FocusTube is the most comprehensive Shorts Blocker and Reels Blocker available. Designed for students, developers, and anyone with ADHD who gets stuck in the "short-form content" loop.

Unlike other tools that just hide the UI, FocusTube uses smart logic to effectively block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels to keep you productive.

KEY FEATURES:

• YouTube Shorts Blocker: Hides the Shorts shelf from the homepage and redirects you if you click a Shorts link.
• Instagram Reels Blocker: Removes the Reels tab and hides the explore feed.
• TikTok Blocker: Prevents the "For You" feed from loading so you can check messages without getting trapped.
• Pomodoro Timer: Built-in focus timer that locks the extension settings while you study.
• Visual Cleaning: Hides distracting sidebars and recommendation feeds to reduce clutter.

WHY USE FOCUSTUBE?

If you find yourself losing hours to doomscrolling, this distraction blocker is for you. It serves as a powerful ADHD tool and productivity extension to help you stay in the flow state.

PRIVACY FIRST

Open Source and privacy-focused. FocusTube runs 100% locally on your browser. No tracking, no data collection.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:

• YouTube (Shorts & Feed)
• Instagram (Reels & Explore)
• Facebook (Reels & Watch)
