MindShield

iOS Universel / Productivité

*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

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 folks,

this update adds a much-requested feature and fixes a few things that were broken by changes on the Instagram and LinkedIn website structure:

- NEW: on Instagram's Search page you can now hide the distracting content grid
- FIXED: Instagram feed & story-hiding now works again; LinkedIn feed & notification count hiding now works again

Remember that the extension is open source -- keep the suggestions coming on https://github.com/ulyngs/mindshield-open-source

Enjoy!
