Block the Instagram feed until you solve a math problem. Instagram Feed Blocker – Focus Lock helps you use Instagram more intentionally. Instead of dropping you straight into an endless feed, it shows a clean, minimal dialog with a short quote and a simple math problem. Solve the problem once to unlock your feed for the rest of the session. What it does - Blocks the Instagram home feed behind a lightweight “focus gate” - Shows a motivational quote and an addition problem (e.g. 667 + 456 + 712 + 606) - Only after you answer correctly does your feed become visible - Unlock lasts for the current browser session; new sessions can ask again Why this is useful - Adds a small moment of friction before you start scrolling - Helps you be more deliberate about opening Instagram - Great for habit-building and reducing mindless social media use How it works - Runs only on instagram.com in your browser - Renders an overlay with a Notion × Apple inspired interface - Generates a random math problem and checks your answer locally - Stores an “unlocked” flag in sessionStorage for the current tab/session Privacy - No accounts, no logins, no trackers - Does NOT send any data to external servers - All logic and state live entirely in your browser
