About Let's Focus - Shorts & Reels Blocker
Stop doomscrolling. Start focusing.
Let'sFocus automatically removes YouTube Shorts and blocks Instagram Reels &
Explore — no willpower needed. It's always on, with zero timers or daily
limits. Just install and your feed is clean.
What gets blocked:
YouTube:
- Shorts shelf sections removed from homepage
- /shorts/ page blocked and redirected to YouTube home
- Shorts tab hidden from sidebar navigation
- Shorts chips removed from search results
Instagram:
- Reels page (/reels/) blocked and redirected to Instagram home
- Explore page (/explore/) blocked and redirected to Instagram home
- Post/Reel pages (/p/*) blocked and redirected
- Reels & Explore links hidden from sidebar
How it works:
- Injects lightweight CSS to hide distracting elements instantly
- Detects navigation to blocked pages and shows a clean "blocked" screen
before redirecting you home
- Works with YouTube and Instagram's single-page app navigation (no
workarounds possible)

- Toggle platforms on/off individually in settings
- 100% private — zero data collection, everything stays on your device

Your normal browsing is untouched. YouTube videos, subscriptions, Instagram
feed, messages, stories — everything else works perfectly. We only remove
the short-form content rabbit holes.
