Digital Habits: Focus

Digital Habits Focus (formerly ReDD Focus, Viking Focus & MindShield) is an open-source browser extension we built to help ourselves be less distracted online. It primarily lets you hide distracting elements on any website, with pre-configured options for a number of sites, including YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram. For example, on YouTube you might want to hide recommended videos, on Facebook you might hide the newsfeed, and on Google Search you might want to hide AI summaries. 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. Digital Habits: Focus also lets you turn any website greyscale to reduce its allure, delay access to chosen websites by a customisable amount of time, and establish redirect rules from a website to somewhere else - all to help keep your online use intentional. Enjoy! - Ulrik, Konrad, Tiago, and the Centre for Digital Habits Team (digitalhabits.org) NOTE: the extension is open source and collects zero user data.
