Instagram DM Secret Mode

A local text-first display for Instagram Direct with visual presets, corner controls, and notification prompt support.

Opening Instagram to send DM at work, school, or a library can make the standard chat interface feel a little conspicuous when other people can see your screen. Instagram DM Secret Mode restyles Instagram Direct as a minimal, text-first interface for a less distracting messaging view. - It restyles the standard interface on the Instagram Direct inbox page ( https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/ ) as a text-based, coding-like CLI. - Open conversations appear as plain text on a black background, without chat bubbles or profile images, reducing the visual cues of a conventional chat window. - While CLI mode is active, the browser tab title changes from “Instagram” to “Notes,” and the Instagram favicon is replaced with a blank favicon. - A keyboard shortcut lets you quickly switch between Instagram’s original interface and the CLI text view. This extension changes only how Instagram Direct is displayed in your browser. It is not a privacy or security tool and does not hide activity from Instagram, browser history, device administrators, employers, schools, or network monitoring. Instagram DM CLI Mode is an independent extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta. **The extension does not collect any information from your instagram.** Open Source Code: https://github.com/ybuser/instagram-dm-cli-mode
