About Motion Guard — Freeze Animations
Motion Guard freezes on-page motion so you can read, browse, and work in peace. One click stops the animations that trigger migraines, dizziness, nausea, and distraction — CSS animations and transitions, JavaScript motion, parallax scroll effects, autoplay carousels and sliders, and looping GIFs — and turns the busiest page calm and still.
Built for people with vestibular disorders, migraine, motion sensitivity, and anyone who simply finds moving pages hard to focus on. Motion Guard follows the accessibility guidance of WCAG 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide) and 2.3.3 (Animation from Interactions), and applies the reduced-motion styling many sites forget to ship.
Everything runs 100% on your device. No accounts, no tracking, and no page content is read or sent anywhere.
── HOW IT WORKS ──
1. Open any page that won't sit still.
2. Click the Motion Guard icon and press "Freeze this page" — or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+M.
3. The page goes calm instantly. Press again to bring the motion back. Nothing is permanent — unfreezing fully restores the page.
Want a site to calm itself automatically? Turn on "Remember this site" and Motion Guard freezes it on every future visit, before the motion ever starts.
── WHAT IT FREEZES ──
• CSS animations & transitions — spinners, sliders, marquees, hover motion
• Web Animations (JavaScript-driven motion)
• Looping GIFs, animated WebP, and APNG — snapped to their first frame
• Parallax and scripted scroll effects (deep-freeze mode)
• Reduced-motion styling applied automatically for a calmer baseline
Freezing is fully reversible. Unfreeze removes the styling, un-pauses the animations, and restores every image to its original state.
── FREE ──
• Freeze any page on demand — unlimited, always free
• Full freeze of CSS animations, JavaScript motion, GIFs, and reduced-motion styling

── PRO ──

• Unlimited remembered sites (beyond the free 3)
• Deep-freeze parallax and scripted JavaScript motion
• Sync your remembered sites across your devices
One payment, not a subscription. Upgrade at zovo.one.
── PRIVACY ──
Motion Guard changes only how a page renders. It has no accounts, no analytics, and never reads or transmits the content of the pages you visit. It asks for wide site access only if you choose to auto-calm every site — otherwise it works one page at a time with your permission.
Calmer pages, your rules, your device.
