Hide distractions on websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, Gmail and take back control of your attention! While we acknowledge the distracting and engrossing nature of these sites, completely blocking them is not always feasible due to the valuable content they offer. This Safari extension allows you to selectively hide attention-grabbing components on each site. For instance, on YouTube, you have the option to conceal recommended videos, shorts, comments, and more. Similarly, on Facebook and Instagram, you can hide the feed, reels, stories, and other elements. The same goes for each supported site. Furthermore, SocialFocus offers an array of supplementary features, including Startup Settings, Import / Export and more. Users who want to support the development of the project can additionally subscribe to the PRO version. The PRO version will give access to some additional features that are not available in the standard version, such as hotkey configuration, settings synchronization and some others. NOTE: This extension does NOT work with the apps, it works only for websites while using the Safari browser. Terms Of Use: https://socialfocus.app/tos/

FormFerry is a local-first operations tracker for paperwork that is already in motion. Build a clear case record for applications, requests, claims, permits, renewals, and other submissions. Record exactly what happened, who owns the next move, and when you want to check in again. CASE CONTROL - Track draft, submitted, receipt-confirmed, waiting, action-required, resolved, and archived cases. - Assign the next action and identify whether you, the recipient, or a third party is responsible. - Save submission method, confirmation number, contact details, and status link. - Enter your own expected-response and check-in dates. FormFerry does not calculate official deadlines. EVIDENCE AND HISTORY - Build a task checklist for missing evidence or follow-up work. - Add timestamped submission, receipt, contact, document, status, decision, and note events. - Attach receipt, confirmation, or status photos to the case. - Search across cases, tasks, references, notes, and timeline activity. REPORTS AND BACKUP - Export a readable case report, CSV register, or PDF evidence packet. - Back up and restore the complete local case register with a FormFerry file. - Use optional local notifications for check-in dates you choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ads, third-party analytics, or backend service. Case data stays on your device unless you choose to export it. FormFerry records information and dates that you enter. It does not submit paperwork, determine official deadlines, predict outcomes, or provide legal, medical, insurance, tax, or financial advice. Confirm requirements and dates with the responsible organization.
