What's New in Digital Habits

6.9.3

September 28, 2026

Hi folks, This update comes with some design improvements and under-the-hood improvements. Hide Distracting Elements - Greyscale now greys the whole page, including things a site keeps on top such as chat bubbles and cookie banners, while Focus's own picker bar and delay screen stay in colour. - Pick… now only affects the tab you are in, not every open tab on that site or your other computers. - Picking no longer dims the page on some sites, and the highlight stays on the element as you scroll. - Undo on the picker bar only appears when there is something on the page to undo. - The picker bar now fits its text, and its count of hidden elements updates when you change your picks in the popup. Delay Opening Websites - Turning Delay off during a countdown now ends the countdown straight away. Redirects - Editing a redirect is more reliable: moving between fields keeps your place, and an emptied field no longer looks saved when it isn't. Accountability - Lock in is only offered when there is something to lock; otherwise Focus tells you so. - After you lock in, a short message explains how to unlock. Privacy - Digital Habits: Focus now sends one anonymous count a day, only on days it has a rule on a site you visit, so we know how many people use it. It contains nothing about the sites you visit or your settings, and you can turn it off in Settings under "Send anonymous usage count". The welcome screen explains this under "Private by design". Fixes & Polish - The popup has been redesigned, with Greyscale, Delay and Redirect as compact cards at the top that show their current setting. - The welcome screen has been simplified around a short "Private by design" note. - The design of the Settings screen has been improved. 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

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.
