MindShield

iOS Universel / Productivité

Mindshield is a browser extension for Safari I built to help myself be less distracted online.

It lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured 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/mindshield-open-source

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

Hi everyone,

I am INCREDIBLY excited to release this version, because it introduces two features I've been meaning to add for a long time:

1: HIDE ANYTHING: You can now hide any webpage elements you want by simply clicking the 'Hide custom elements' button and then clicking on the element you'd like to get rid off.

2: WORKS ON ANY WEBSITE: You can now use MindShield on ANY website, not just on the few special ones I originally built it for.

There's bound to be some wrinkles to iron out before this works really well -- so please submit your feedback and suggestions for improvement at the open-source GitHub repository https://github.com/ulyngs/mindshield-open-source

I've also fixed some bugs here and there.

Enjoy!
