Free focus extensions give you a toggle. At 9 PM, tired and craving a dopamine hit, that toggle is useless—you’ll click it. Unhook and DF Tube let you disable them in one click. ZeroFeed doesn’t. Once your lock is on, only your accountability partner holds the key—no self-toggle, no quiet uninstall. ZeroFeed strips YouTube’s Home Feed, Shorts, sidebar recommendations, and autoplay—the triggers that turn “5 minutes” into a 2 AM scroll. If willpower isn’t working, stop relying on it.
Hey PH! I'm Surya, maker of ZeroFeed. 👋
The confession that started this: every semester I'd install a "focus blocker," feel productive for two weeks, then hit a rough night — tired, stuck on an assignment, craving cheap dopamine — and just... turn it off. One click. Then it's 2:30 AM and I'm deep in Shorts with nothing done.
The problem was never YouTube. It's that every blocker hands the key back to the exact version of you that's too tired to use it well.
So ZeroFeed doesn't. Once your lock is on, only your accountability partner can unlock it early — not you. It strips the Home Feed, Shorts, sidebar recs, and autoplay: the stuff that actually pulls you in.
Would love your honest take — and genuinely curious: what's the moment your own blockers usually fail you?
