About Substack Scholar
Substack Scholar transforms Substack into a distraction-free reading experience by doing two things extremely well:
1. Hide Notes
Removes short-form social posts from your feed so only long-form articles remain. Works on the home feed, publication feeds, and dynamically loaded content as you scroll.
2. Hide Engagement Metrics
Hides like counts, comment counts, and restack counts from post cards. The posts stay — just without the social-media-style numbers.
HOW IT WORKS
- Toggle each feature on or off from the popup
- Settings are saved automatically and restored on every visit
- Changes apply instantly — no page refresh needed
- Works across all Substack domains
PRIVACY
Substack Scholar does not collect, store, transmit, or share any user data. All functionality runs entirely within your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
Built for readers who want to focus on the writing.
