Extension Actions
Make social media less stimulating. Toggle grayscale and hide engagement metrics on Twitter/X and YouTube.
Stop doomscrolling. Social Media Detox strips the color from social media feeds and hides the engagement numbers that keep you hooked — likes, retweets, view counts, subscriber counts. When your feed is boring, you use it on purpose instead of on autopilot.
**How it works:**
Click the toolbar icon and toggle grayscale on for any website. The page instantly goes black and white. On Twitter/X and YouTube, you can also hide engagement metrics — the like counts, retweet numbers, view counts, and follower stats that trigger compulsive scrolling. Your settings are saved per site, so work tools stay in full color while social feeds stay boring.
**Key features:**
- One-click grayscale toggle for any website
- Hide engagement metrics on Twitter/X (likes, retweets, followers) and YouTube (views, likes, subscribers)
- Per-site settings — keep grayscale on social media, full color on everything else
- Keyboard shortcut (Alt+G) for instant toggling without opening the popup
- Managed sites list to control all your settings in one place
**Built for focus:**
Social Media Detox is designed for digital minimalists, the ADHD community, students, and anyone who wants to reduce distractions and reclaim their attention. The grayscale filter removes the visual dopamine hit from colorful feeds, and hiding engagement metrics removes the social proof that keeps you scrolling. It is a simple, proven digital detox technique — the same one recommended by screen-time researchers and used in phone grayscale mode.
