Focus Instagram on staying in touch with people, less on scrolling content. This extension removes distractions (like the home feed) so you can focus on DMs. If your really want the feed, you can control your usage by seeing a prominent timer at the bottom of the screen. This extension additionally adds a banner on each requester’s profile so you can accept or reject and instantly move on to the next request. It works on top of Instagram’s web app in Safari, so it’s secure and simple – no need to give your password to a shady app. If you've never installed a Safari extension before, visit the Support URL below for step by step instructions.
Flámek

Flámek is the easiest way to plan something and meet up with people in real life. Feel like going out, but the group-chat planning always fizzles out? Create an event, everyone taps "I'm in", done. And when you don't know what to do, browse ideas from people nearby and say which ones you'd be up for. NEW: WHAT ARE YOU UP FOR? • Swipe through cards with event ideas in your city — right for "interested", left for "not now". • Interest is anonymous and commits you to nothing. Others only see how many people are in, not your name. • Post your own idea — a mountain trip, board games, padel on Saturday — with a date, place and photo if you like. • Once enough people are in, anyone can turn the idea into an event in a few taps, and everyone who liked it gets an invite. • Discover ideas brings your groups and ideas picked for you together in one place. WHAT FLÁMEK DOES • Create an event in seconds — where, when, with whom, and for how many. • Discover events nearby, on the map or in a list — by your location, or by your home city. • Join with one tap and chat with everyone right away. • Groups for the people you go out with regularly — shared events, polls, and a chat with threads so nothing gets lost in a big group. • Date or place still open? Let people vote — including Doodle-style calendar polls. • Got a complete profile? See the full guest list before you join. • Split up who brings or sorts what — every task shows who took it on. • Draw people into groups — teams for a game, cars for the trip, rooms at the cottage. • Invite friends without the app — they join as guests via a link, just an email needed. • Shared expenses — log who paid what and Flámek splits it. • Sign in with Apple or Google, or with email — whichever suits you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create an event, or swipe through ideas to find what you're up for. 2. Invite people, or let others nearby discover it. 3. Sort it out in chat, vote in polls, and meet up. Flámek is built for real, in-person meetups — coffee, a beer, a hike, a gig, board games, whatever. It's free and for people aged 18+. Questions or ideas? Write to us at ahoj@flamek.cz.
