  Stop doomscrolling. Start focusing.
  
    Let'sFocus automatically removes YouTube Shorts and blocks Instagram Reels &
     Explore — no willpower needed. It's always on, with zero timers or daily
    limits. Just install and your feed is clean.
  
    What gets blocked:
  
    YouTube:
    - Shorts shelf sections removed from homepage
    - /shorts/ page blocked and redirected to YouTube home
    - Shorts tab hidden from sidebar navigation
    - Shorts chips removed from search results
  
    Instagram:
    - Reels page (/reels/) blocked and redirected to Instagram home
    - Explore page (/explore/) blocked and redirected to Instagram home
    - Post/Reel pages (/p/*) blocked and redirected
    - Reels & Explore links hidden from sidebar
  
    How it works:
    - Injects lightweight CSS to hide distracting elements instantly
    - Detects navigation to blocked pages and shows a clean "blocked" screen
    before redirecting you home
    - Works with YouTube and Instagram's single-page app navigation (no
    workarounds possible)
  
    Why Let'sFocus?
    - Always-on — no timers to set, no daily limits to manage
    - Toggle platforms on/off individually in settings
    - 100% private — zero data collection, everything stays on your device
    - Lightweight — no background processes, minimal resource usage
    - Open source and free forever
  
    Your normal browsing is untouched. YouTube videos, subscriptions, Instagram
    feed, messages, stories — everything else works perfectly. We only remove
    the short-form content rabbit holes.
  
    Take back your time. Let'sFocus.
