What it does

Hide Shorts, Reels & Stories is a productivity-focused Chrome extension that helps you take control of distracting content on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Hide Shorts, Reels, Stories, videos, sponsored content, and more—so you can focus on what matters without giving up the platforms you use every day. For students, developers, remote workers, creators, and anyone who wants a more intentional browsing experience, Hide puts you back in control.

Hide Shorts, Reels, Stories, Explore, sponsored posts, ads, and distracting video feeds on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Core blocking is free, and Pro can be claimed free when you join our community or leave an honest review.

Hide Shorts, Reels, Stories and other distracting content so you can focus on what truly matters. Seven filters are switched on the moment you install, across YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Nothing to configure. Shorts are hidden automatically so the YouTube feed stays focused. Reels stay hidden from Facebook surfaces without extra setup. Facebook and Instagram Stories are removed to keep social browsing cleaner. Feed videos stay hidden, and their audio is stopped rather than left playing out of sight. The Explore tab is hidden and its direct links are redirected back to your feed. Facebook ads are cleared from the feed and sidebar. This one ships switched off. Free hides all of it from…from waafaa.com

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
