About Unfocused

Unfocused - Focused by default. Unfocused surgically strips the distracting surfaces from your favourite sites: infinite feeds, Shorts, Reels, "For You" and trending pages, and recommendation shelves — across 18 social and streaming sites, detailed below! You get the parts of the web you actually chose, without the parts designed to keep you scrolling. By default, every one of those sites is wired to be focused — the feeds and recommendations are simply gone. Need a site's normal features back? Tap "Unfocus" to bring them back temporarily. But if that tap is really just an impulse — "just checking one thing," the five-second detour that swallows an hour — you'll feel it: accessing Unfocus takes a deliberate 1½-minute wait, not a click. Long enough for the craving to pass, short enough to never get in the way of something you genuinely need. No setup, no account, no configuration required — every blocker starts switched on. Turning any blocker off for good asks for a short breathing period first, so it's a decision, not a reflex. What you get: * All 18 platform blockers, on by default, completely free — forever * A friction-activated Unfocus Mode for when you need a feed on purpose, running for a fixed window before focus returns automatically * A deliberate breathing-period pause before any blocker turns off for good * A custom blocklist for any other site you want to keep yourself off, and time-based focus schedules — also free, forever * Pro (a one-time £4.99 purchase, no subscription): granular per-site filters, site and custom greyscale modes, and adjustable friction timers Unfocused doesn't ask you to delete your accounts or your apps. It just removes the parts built to pull you back in — everywhere, not just on one site. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A FEW EXAMPLES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ YouTube — hides Shorts, recommendations, the home feed, comments, and the end-screen video wall. Instagram — hides Reels, Explore, and suggested or sponsored posts. TikTok — hides the For You and Explore feeds, LIVE and Short dramas, and disables swipe-scrolling. Twitter / X — hides the "For You" feed, trends, and "who to follow." Streaming services — hides the home page and recommendation shelves, so you watch what you chose, not what the algorithm pushes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREE VS PRO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Free includes every core site blocker, the breathing-period friction, the temporary Unfocused Mode, a custom blocklist for any site you choose, and time-based focus schedules — no catch, no time limit, forever. Pro is a one-time £4.99 purchase, with no subscription, and unlocks deeper control over the same single purpose: * Granular per-section toggles for every supported site, including a greyscale mode to strip dopamine-triggering colour * Custom Greyscale: make arbitrary websites you choose completely greyscale during Focus Mode * Adjustable friction and break timers ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Unfocused decides what to hide entirely on your own device — no browsing history, page content, or site-visit data is ever collected or transmitted. If you buy Pro, your browser-profile email binds your licence and is verified periodically with healthevate.com. Opening Settings also checks that email with healthevate.com for a licence you already own, so Pro switches itself on on a new device; if there isn't one, nothing is stored. That's it. Privacy policy: https://healthevate.com/privacy-policy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GETTING STARTED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Free to install, free to walk away — no account required either way. 1. Pin Unfocused to your toolbar. 2. That's it — every blocker is already on, with nothing to configure and no account required. 3. Want more control? Open the dashboard to toggle individual sites, add sites to your custom blocklist, or set a focus schedule — or upgrade to Pro for granular per-site filters and adjustable friction timers.
