Hi Product Hunt! For the last several months, I've been working on a Chrome/Firefox extension that hides distractions on sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. Today's websites are designed to suck us in and keep us engaged by providing a never-ending stream of content. The longer we stay, the more ads we'll see, the more products we'll buy, and the more we'll boost their revenue and engagement metrics. Companies might talk about putting their users first, but their business models provide powerful incentivizes to get people hooked. If you care about spending your time well, you might try avoiding these sites entirely. But that's often difficult in practice because these sites offer genuinely useful services. YouTube is designed to make us spend hours falling down their recommendations rabbit hole, but it also holds a wealth of knowledge found nowhere else. How can we get the good parts while avoiding the bad? That's where Hide Feed comes in: It removes distractions on websites so that you can use them without getting sidetracked. That means being able to respond to messages on Facebook or Twitter without getting sucked into the feed. Or find a particular email in Gmail without seeing all the unread ones. Or order items on Amazon without being bombarded by advertisements for things you don't need. I designed Hide Feed with your privacy as a top priority. Here's what that means: 🔒 Hide Feed requests access only to the sites you select, not all sites. 🚫 Hide Feed contains zero tracking or analytics code. 💰 Hide Feed makes money by offering a premium tier, not by selling your data. ✅ Your browsing history stays in your browser and is never transmitted. Hide Feed is part of a suite of tools I'm developing to help people spend their time well, and I'd love to hear your feedback! Thanks so much. DK P.S. If you'd like to read about the process behind developing Hide Feed, I've been keeping a daily, public journal at https://roadtoramen.com

I've been using this for a few months and love it, especially on YouTube. Before Hide Feed, I would go there intending to watch a single video or turn on some background music, and 90% of the time I would get sucked into a rabbithole of recommendations instead. After Hide Feed, I'm able to protect my focus much better and only do what I intended to do. @dkthehuman is a fantastic product thinker - he really cares about building technology that elevates the human using it!

Omg this is everything I’ve been looking for. I used Nudge to do similar things but I hate the design. Can’t wait to use it!

Been testing Hide Feeds for the past weeks. Love the product, it makes using Twitter, Gmail and other apps way less stressful and distracting during the work day.

The beauty of Hide Feed hit me around 330PM on a Tuesday. I was tired and seeking a break from my task my fingers magically hit the all too familiar keys g-m-a- enter. I didn't need to check my email, but my brain was exhausted and going on straight default decision making. Luckily, Hide Feed created the space necessary to recenter myself and set a specific intention. I didn't lose the rest of my day in pointless small tasks.

Hide Feed is awesome at protecting me from myself. I used to visit Youtube with the intention of watching a certain video, only to get sucked in as soon as I saw the front page and start mindlessly binging videos. With Hide Feed, instead of seeing 'cutting a watermelon with a 1000 degree knife', I am greeted with a refreshing picture of a beautiful waterfall. Hide Feed has saved me hours - cumulatively, days - of my life, and for that it's priceless.
