Reclaim Your Focus: Cut Short-Form Video From Your Feed

Simple habits and settings to spend less time in the endless scroll — and more time on what you came for.

Why short-form video is so hard to stop

Shorts, Reels, and Stories are designed to autoplay and never end. Removing them from view is the easiest way to break the loop.

Hide the feeds you do not need

Use Focus Mode to clear Shorts, Reels, Stories, and Explore in one click, so opening a site does not pull you straight into the scroll.

Decide what you keep

With Pro, show the content that is useful to you and hide the rest — per platform and per type.

Build a calmer routine

Pair the extension with a couple of small habits: check your feeds on purpose rather than on autopilot, and close the tab once you have what you came for.
