Quendel

The problem it solves Modern websites make it hard to stay focused and present. Feeds, recommendations, comments, and other distractions constantly pull your attention away from what you intended to do. Over time, this makes it harder to work, learn, and be fully present in your life. Solution Quendel lets you remove them. Point at any distracting element on a page and hide it, for good. What you remove stays gone each time you return, and your changes follow you to every device you sign in on. What's left is a quieter web that shows you what you came for. How it works Open Quendel on any site, point at an element, and hide it. Nothing is deleted, only hidden, so a switch on each filter, or one for the whole site, brings everything back whenever you want. Your hidden elements are saved on your device and reapplied instantly. Sign in, and they sync across all your devices. Where it fits During focused work or study, to keep your tools free of noise. In everyday browsing, to spend your attention deliberately rather than by default. Why we built it Attention is the raw material of a conscious life. We believe humanity rises on the uniqueness of its consciousness, and we want to make the greatest possible impact toward unlocking its full potential. Quendel is a first step, giving people back the attention the web is built to take. Who we are Aaron and Johan Ypyä, two brothers and engineers from Finland. Reach us at support@quendel.app. Data and privacy You choose how Quendel works. Use it entirely on your device, where nothing is sent anywhere on its own, or turn on cloud sync to keep your filters on all your devices. Sync stays off until you choose to sign in. When you sign in, Quendel saves your email address, and your display name if you use Google. After that, each filter you sync saves only what it needs to reappear on your other devices. It saves the site and page where you hid something, the element's CSS selector and a few nearby attributes, which items you kept visible if you hid a set, whether the filter is on, whether the site is paused, and when you created or changed it. It also saves the filter's name, either one you typed or a short label generated from the element, which may include a little text from the page. Nothing else is saved. Not the content of the pages you visit, and nothing you type apart from a name you choose. Your browsing is never tracked. Before anything is uploaded you are shown exactly what will be sent, and your filters are stored under your account, where no other user can read them. If you send us feedback, your message goes with that site's domain, Quendel's version, and your browser and OS, linked to your account. You can sign out at any time to stop syncing, or delete your account to remove all your filter data from our servers. Feedback you've sent is kept, but unlinked from you.
