What's New in Digital Habits

6.10.0

October 23, 2026

Hi folks, This update comes with some useful new features, design improvements, and under-the-hood improvements. Hide Distracting Elements - Each of your own picks now has a tick box, like the built-in options. Untick a pick to show that part of the page again without deleting it. - Editing a pick has a new design. On iPhone it fills the extension sheet at its current size, and the help icon next to Selector shows a short tip with a link instead of leaving the page. - Long lists of picks show the first four, with "Show more" for the rest. Picks without a name show their selector, cut short at the end. - Facebook: fixed hiding Stories, Reels and People you may know in the feed, and the Reels carousel and Reels button in search, and added Suggested groups. - Google: fixed the sponsored products background - Instagram: Reels now also hides the Reels tab and reels in the posts grid on profiles, and the remaining posts close the gaps. - LinkedIn: fixed hiding notification dots on small screens. - Reddit: fixed Popular, which no longer leaves an empty gap in the sidebar, and the feed now stays hidden when you switch to Best, Hot, New, Top or Rising. - WhatsApp: fixed hiding message previews, profile pictures, and the Status, Channels and Communities buttons. - X: fixed Who to follow, and added Grok AI selector. - YouTube: fixed the voice search button, which now hides with the search bar, and the thumbnail setting, which now also covers Playables, and added Playables and Explore more topics on the home page. Accountability - While settings are locked, your ticked picks can't be unticked or removed, and only their name can be edited. Undo in pick mode is greyed out. Remember that the app is open source — keep your feedback and suggestions coming at https://github.com/digitalhabits/dh-focus Cheers, Ulrik & all of us at Centre for Digital Habits

Amazing

Got so much time and focus back in my life, wow, thanks Oxford university, wish I had discovered this earlier

Wonderful Extension

This app does exactly what I need it to. I owe you this review for you helping my wellbeing by blocking the often too toxic algorithm. Thank you thank you thank you. 5 star review is the least I can do!

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.
