Block YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels and stop the short-video spiral. Keep search, subs and DMs. Focus timer. Local. Short-form video is engineered to erase an hour before you notice. Refocus blocks YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and the infinite feeds while leaving search, subscriptions and messages fully working, so you keep the useful parts and lose the spiral. Most blockers are all-or-nothing. Refocus does path-level blocking: it kills Shorts and Reels but keeps regular YouTube, your subscriptions and DMs usable. ⭐ WHAT REFOCUS DOES • Block YouTube Shorts, keep normal YouTube and your subscriptions • Block Instagram Reels and Explore, keep DMs and the profiles you actually visit • Block any other distracting website in one click too, LinkedIn, X, Reddit, TikTok • Block the feed, keep the rest, mute the LinkedIn feed or r/all without losing the useful pages • 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 YouTube right after email") • 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.
