What's New in Digital Habits

6.8.0

July 28, 2026

Hi folks, This update comes with some exciting new features and helpful improvements! Delay opening distracting websites: - "Delay before a site opens": Take a breath and consider your intention online by choosing to delay opening certain websites. Toggle it per site from the Custom section. - "Configurable delay length": Choose a delay between 5 and 600 seconds (default 10). - "Shared unlock / delay message": The Settings “Unlock / delay message” appears on both the unlock countdown and the delay screen (default: “What's your intention?”). Redirects to another page / website - "Redirects when you open a website": Redirect yourself to either another page on the website via a relative link (e.g. /feed/subscriptions) or to another website (e.g. wikipedia.org). Toggle and add a redirect for the current website from the Custom section. - "Redirects at a glance": See active redirects to your current page. Edit or delete them as you wish. - "Infinite redirect protection": Redirects from site A to site B will not be allowed if there is already a redirect from site B to site A. Other improvements: - "Accessibility improvements": Extension-wide improvements for keyboard-only users. - "Collapsible Custom section": Custom collapses by default on sites that already have pre-configured hide options, and expands by default on other sites; the open/closed state is remembered per site. - "Custom section chrome": Eyebrow and chevron alignment cleaned up for the collapsible Custom header. - "Theme (was Appearance)": Settings rename Appearance → Theme, with a chevron control and a tighter hit target on the selector. - "UK greyscale spelling": Greyscale uses the UK spelling consistently. - "Secondary text spacing": Line spacing and size for helper copy (e.g. YouTube preview tips) are easier to read when text wraps. - "Numeric keyboard for number fields": Delay and similar numeric inputs use the numeric keyboard where appropriate. - "Sheet no longer jumps to full height": Typing in popup inputs no longer forces the iOS sheet to expand to its maximum height. Please keep suggesting improvements to the app - you can do so at https://github.com/ulyngs/reddfocus-open-source We hope you're enjoying ReDD Focus! - Ulrik, Tiago, & the Centre for Digital Habits Team (digitalhabits.org)

Helped me quit my screen addiction

I’m so glad I have been able to finally stop getting sucked into a rabbit hole every time I open YouTube. Sometimes I use YouTube for college, so I didn’t want to block it outright. With this, I was able to hide all the distracting elements like the feed and up next videos. Now I only spent time on there when I want to. I should mention that this works on other websites too. I mean you could like block anything on any website. I tried it with reddit and it worked great. Also, it saves your preferences, so the next time you open the page, it will have already removed the same things you removed last time. Also, it’s completely free.

Works great so far

Was looking for a robust blocker on my MacBook since I mainly use Safari on it. Works great, would love to see a more robust Reddit implementation.

Simple and brilliant

I found this app via always excellent Macrumors as I was looking for a way to hide Google’s AI Overview. The app lets the user hide distracting elements on webpages, on both Mac and iPhone. It’s very easy to do by simply selecting the undesired elements on a page. In the latest update one can even more easily hide Google’s AI Overview by ticking the dedicated box in the settings. I had contact with the developer Ulrik Lyngs about the possibility to hide the AI Overview and was very happy about how responsive he and the team behind the app were to make this possible. It should be noted that there’s science behind the app’s functionality in terms of removing distractions online. It’s an app that can make a real difference to one’s digital life and I highly recommend it.
