About
Distract turns the page you're on into a simple map of blocks. Click a block and that part of the site disappears. Click it again and it comes back.
Works on YouTube, X, Facebook and Instagram: • YouTube: Shorts, the home feed, topic chips and shelves, Up next, comments, end cards, live chat, ads and the notification bell • X: Trending, Today's news, Who to follow, promoted posts, Premium upsells, Grok, the composer and the timeline • Facebook: Reels, Stories, suggested posts, the sponsored panel, friend requests, contacts, Marketplace and the shortcuts sidebar • Instagram: Reels, Stories, sponsored and suggested posts, the right rail, notifications and the Messages pill
How it works • Click the Distract button in Safari's toolbar. The popup draws the current page as a wireframe laid out like the real site. • Hover a block to see that section outlined on the page. Hover a hidden one to peek at it. • Colours tell you what a block is: blue for page areas, pink for feed clutter, amber for buttons. • Pause Distract on any site with one switch, or bring everything back with "show all". • Hiding Shorts opens Shorts links in the normal player. Hiding Up next centres the video.
Getting started Open Distract once, then turn it on in Safari Settings → Extensions and allow it on the four sites.
Private by design Distract has no account, no analytics and makes no network requests. Your choices stay in Safari.
