Mellow — Algorithm Shield

About

Mellow puts a quiet shield between you and the social media algorithms designed to keep you scrolling forever.

Whether you're a parent protecting a child, or an adult who's tired of losing hours to a feed — Mellow gives you back control.

WHAT MELLOW DOES
────────────────
• Blurs algorithmic content (Reels, Shorts, For You feeds, Suggested Posts) on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok
• Shows a gentle "Show anyway" button — you're always in control, never hard-blocked
• Per-platform on/off toggles from the extension popup
• Works silently in the background

WHAT MELLOW DOESN'T DO
───────────────────────
• Collect any data
• Track your behaviour
• Require an account
• Cost anything

WHO IT'S FOR
────────────
Parents who want to protect their children from recommendation algorithms that have been shown to harm mental health. Adults who find themselves scrolling past their own bedtime and want a gentle brake. Anyone who believes their attention belongs to them, not to an algorithm.

PRIVACY
───────
Mellow collects zero data. It has no server. It doesn't know who you are. Your settings are stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage — nothing ever leaves your browser.
