SocialFocus: Hide Distractions App Reviews

Only works on the websites, but for the websites it's perfect. Love the granularity of options. Works on iOS and macOS too, which is fantastic.

I’m also using burnout buddy to monitor YouTube and I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it?

When I bought this, I was at a low point getting tossed around, haphazardly clicking around when all I wanted was a tutorial. after I bought this I saw the light. features do break sometimes though.

Stoped working a week back. Multiple filters on YouTube including blocking shorts is not working. Edit: Dev has fixed the issue and it works perfectly so updating my review

Does what it says on the tin. Helping me get my screentime under control! I only wish there there was a way to disable the algorithmic instagram feed while keeping the chronological feed.

So far totally worth the money. if you want to block reels and suggested posts on your insta homefeed, this is exactly what you’re looking for.

In combination with Leech Block NG, this app is an incredible weapon against overusing social media.

I’m using this for reducing my Instagram usage and it works well for the most part. The only issue is when someone dm’s me a reel, ideally I should be able to open and watch this reel only but it also lets me scroll for suggested reels. It would be great if scrolling could be blocked in this way too.

Im changing my review because the fix the problem 10/10

Most things work. However, I was hoping this would block my home feed on Reddit, but it doesn't seem to work. As a request, it would also be nice to block my username as I would like to keep my username hidden to those physically near me and those that can see my monitor.

My feed still continues to plague me with Community Page recommendations for garbage that I don't want to see. I'm still relegated to having to click on those posts in my feed and select "Block" - but it's an uphill battle w/ these bot posts. My feed is hammered nonstop with posts that aren't from Friends even after using this.

I was so happy the developer released this, as I have been using his other app, Untrap and it is a blessing. App seems to work well so far for most things, but unfortunately FaceBook still manages to break through with its algorythim pumping random stuff to my main feed. Been searching for an app that can defeat FaceBook for a long time now. If you ever manage to pull it off, I'll give 5 stars and go pro.

App has been amazing for my attention and so so helpful. However I’ve been seeing an issue recently where I have to go on safari extension settings and turn on and off the extension manually for the blocks to kick in. Then it will be kicked in for a while like a few days before it somehow disables and I have to redo the process

I love Untrap and having a similar tool for Reddit and Facebook is a godsend. It's not quite as feature rich as Untrap, and i'm excited to see what does get added, but it's still very deserving of 5 stars

I got this app for hiding youtube shorts. It used to work great but no longer hides anything from the youtube website on safari.

Originally was a very good app but now it doesn’t block anything on instagram and looks like they are switching to a monthly plan

This app is great, thank you. The ability to optionally sync between my devices and between Safari profiles would be very useful. Currently I need to manually configure 4 devices * 4 Safari profiles * 6 websites = 96 config menus to fill out. The recent update added more options while breaking previously set configurations. Expecting users to do this once, let alone after each non-backwards compatible update, is unreasonable. Edit: The PRO subscription is essentially required if you use Safari

Can’t seem to get FaceBook to block anything. Don’t want to see Reels or posts from people I don’t follow. Giving 2 stars because I use the devs other app for YouTube and it works great. Sent email with screen shots of Reels showing up even though the extension is enabled and the block Reel toggle is selected.

Main gripe with this app is the the fact that I can’t schedule the times for a social media block.
