MindShield

This app is *drumroll* FOSS on github Data collection free Constantly taking feedback to improve Everything you need to conquer and customize the big addicting and overstimulating websites to finally set yourself free. I finally feel free to browse Safari in peace.

So much important content (unfortunately) ends up on social media (like answers to technical questions) or arbitrated by it (like creating an account via Facebook) and so outright blocking those sites isn’t realistic any more. The solution is to gut every algorithmic element to them, every infinite feed, every story carousel so they no longer pose a threat to your time. This app succeeds where I failed with some slapped together css selectors. My only wishes would be in depth configurations for Reddit and the ability to block Twitter replies. And it’s open source, if you thought it couldn’t get any better! Maybe I’ll just make a PR with the features I want.
