About Refocus - News Feed Blocker: Mute Feeds

The problem was never the whole site, it's the infinite feed. Refocus is a news feed blocker that mutes just the feeds on LinkedIn, X, Reddit and YouTube while leaving search, messages, profiles and the pages you actually need fully working. Most blockers are all-or-nothing. Refocus does path-level blocking: it kills the endless scroll but keeps the useful parts of each site usable. ⭐ WHAT REFOCUS DOES • Mute the feed, keep the site, block the LinkedIn feed, X home, r/all and YouTube Shorts without losing messages, search or subscriptions • Block any whole website in one click too, when you want the site gone entirely • Daily time limits, give a site 30 minutes a day, then it locks for the rest of the day • Focus timer (Pomodoro), start a 25, 50 or 90-minute sprint and distractions go dark until it ends • Scheduled blocking, auto-block during work hours or late at night, set it once • Pause for 3 hours, one tap when you genuinely need a blocked site; it auto-resumes on its own • A calm, guilt-free block screen, no shaming, just a nudge back to what matters ⭐ IT LEARNS YOUR PATTERNS (100% on your device) Refocus reads your own history locally and shows you the truth, like how many times you opened a site this month, then hands you one-tap fixes. • Spots your trigger ("you open LinkedIn right after Gmail") • Finds your witching hour ("after 11pm your focus falls apart") • Gives every site a deep-dive: how often you come back, your peak hours, a 30-day recurrence graph ⭐ PRIVACY, 100% LOCAL, NO ACCOUNT No sign-up. No servers. Nothing ever leaves your browser. The history permission is used only on your own machine to categorize sites and show your patterns, it is never uploaded, logged, or shared. Site access is required only so the block rules can apply to whichever sites you choose; Refocus does not read or transmit the contents of any page. ⭐ SIMPLE PRICING Refocus is $1 a month. No ads, no upsells, no data selling, just a tiny price so a solo developer can keep it alive and improving. Cancel anytime. Take your focus back. Install Refocus and mute the feeds in one click.
