MindShield

iOS Universel / Productivité

Mindshield is a browser extension I built to help myself avoid being distracted online. It lets you hide distracting elements on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Search. For example, on YouTube you can hide recommended videos (and more), on Facebook you can hide the newsfeed and ads in the sidebar, on Twitter you can hide trends, on Google Search you can hide ads, or highlight them, etc.

You have full control over what is hidden. Simply click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to toggle distracting elements on and off, and save your preferred settings. To help hold yourself accountable, you can also add a delay time to change the settings.

Enjoy!

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

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

Hi folks,

this update adds instructions for how to create a custom icon on the home screen that goes directly to your chosen platform in Safari.

That is, it shows how you can e.g., delete the ordinary Instagram app and add your own homescreen icon to open it directly in Safari with MindShield's modifications.

As always, remember that the app is open source - keep the suggestions coming at https://github.com/ulyngs/mindshield-open-source

Enjoy!
