Hide Instagram Reels. Hide YouTube Shorts. Reclaim your attention. Nope is a free iOS App that turns off the parts of Instagram and YouTube built to keep you scrolling. One toggle hides Reels. One toggle hides Shorts. One toggle hides Explore, Stories, Suggested, autoplay, recommended videos, whatever pulls you in. Posts, watch pages, search and DMs keep working normally. INSTAGRAM: HIDE WHAT HIJACKS YOU • Disable the Reels page (sidebar, feed shelf, /reels/ URLs redirect home) • Disable the "For you" tab. Following stays pinned • Disable the Explore page • Disable Search • Hide Stories at the top of the feed • Hide "Suggested for you" in the sidebar • Disable video autoplay. Feed videos stay paused, no surprise audio YOUTUBE: A QUIETER FEED • Hide Shorts everywhere (sidebar, home shelf, search chip, channel pages) • Disable autoplay. The next video doesn't queue up • Disable thumbnail hover-previews • Hide comments on the watch page • Hide recommended and up-next videos • Hide the home feed. Opens to Subscriptions instead • Auto-redirect /shorts/ URLs to home EXTRA TOOLS WHEN YOU NEED THEM • Grayscale mode. Drains the color from the feed so it stops pulling at your eye • Mindful pause. A five-second pause asks why you're opening the site before letting you in 17 independent toggles across Instagram and YouTube. Flip on what bothers you, leave the rest. Changes apply immediatly, no reload required. FREE FOREVER. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. Nope is free. Not "free trial." Actually free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads, no premium tier hiding the good features. There is no Nope account, because there is no Nope server. Every setting lives on your device. We never see what you browse, who you follow, or what you watch. Privacy-first isn't a marketing line here. It's the only way the app works. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Nope from the App Store. 2. Open Settings, then Apps, Safari, Extensions, Nope, and turn it on for instagram.com and youtube.com. 3. Open the Nope app and flip toggles for what you want hidden. That's it. Open Instagram or YouTube in Safari and the distractions are gone. WORKS ON IPHONE AND IPAD Nope is a native Safari Web Extension. Universal app, one download, works on every iPhone and iPad you're signed in on. Same toggles, same look. Same controls are also available as a free Chrome extension for your laptop. Search "Nope" on the Chrome Web Store. WHY NOPE Reels and Shorts aren't a feature you asked for. They're an algorithm trained to keep you on the app one more minute, one more swipe. Nope doesn't lecture you, doesn't lock you out, doesn't slap a guilt-trip screen on the home tab. It just turns the noise off. The feed you came for is still there. Everything else stays hidden until you decide to bring it back. Two minutes to install. A lifetime of focus. Questions, feedback, bug reports: hi@nope-app.com

About

Postgres & Friends

Features
Read full description

Postgres & Friends is a database client for iPhone and iPad. Connect to the databases you already run, browse what is inside them, and run the query you need — without opening a laptop. SIX ENGINES, ONE APP • PostgreSQL • MySQL • SQLite — open a database file straight from the Files app • Redis • MongoDB • Cloudflare D1 — over Cloudflare's REST API BROWSE YOUR DATA Move from connection to database to table, and page through rows without dragging the whole table down the wire. Search inside a result set, tap any row to read long values in full, or switch to the structure view when you need column types and keys. WRITE REAL SQL A proper editor with syntax highlighting, not a single-line text box. Every statement you run is kept in a local query history, and the ones worth reusing can be saved. A built-in, filterable cheat sheet sits one tap away for the syntax nobody memorises on a phone keyboard. REACH PRIVATE DATABASES Most databases worth connecting to are not open to the internet. Tunnel through a bastion host over SSH, using either a password or an OpenSSH private key. SHARE THE ANSWER Export the rows you are looking at as CSV and send them straight from the iOS share sheet. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS There is no account to create and no server of ours in the path between the app and your database. Passwords and SSH keys are stored in the iOS Keychain; saved connections, query history, and saved queries live in the app's own sandbox on your device. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking SDKs. FREE AND PRO Free includes up to three saved connections, table browsing, SQL execution, query history, and SSH tunnels across every supported engine. Pro removes the connection and tab limits and adds the full SQL editor, CSV export and sharing, and light and accent themes. It is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase — all three unlock exactly the same features.
