Mindful Social Media

Explore social media more mindfully. Hides notification badges and endless feeds on Instagram, LinkedIn and X. Optional grayscale.

Mindful Social Media quiets the parts of Social Media that are built to keep you scrolling, and removes distractions, so you can focus. Each supported site has its own settings. Notifications • Hide notification badges and counters. • Hide the floating chat bars and message popups, and the unread count in the tab title and icon. • Allow notifications only during a daily window (for example 19:00–20:00). Badges appear then and disappear again afterwards, without reloading the page. • Psychologically engineered red notification badges keeping you anxious take each site's own brand color instead, or any color you pick. Feeds • Replace the endless home feed with a calm placeholder. Distractions • Hide distracting elements, with each element having its own switch. Appearance • Grayscale mode, always on or only during a daily schedule (for example 21:00–07:00). In the popup and settings • Toolbar popup with quick toggles for the site you're on. • Full settings page per site, with a master on/off switch and Reset to defaults. • Export and import your settings. • Dark theme that follows your system. Supported now: Instagram, LinkedIn, X. Privacy: The extension collects no data and sends nothing to its developer or any third party. It makes no network requests. It only hides elements on the supported sites, and your settings stay in your browser's extension storage.
