Per-feature blocking

Instagram, minus the doomscroll.

Home feed, Stories, Reels, Explore, Messages — each is its own switch. Block what scrolls, keep what connects.

Hard-stop the rest.

For sites where there's nothing worth keeping, add a domain to the blocklist. Mindglade replaces the page with a quiet reminder of what you came online to do.

  • Glob patterns (*.example.com) and exact URLs
  • Schedule by day & hour, or block 24/7

Frequently Asked Questions

The things people usually ask before installing Mindglade.

Why Mindglade? +

Mindglade lets you block the distracting parts of social media without compromising on the people that matter to you. If checking messages without scrolling is a priority, Mindglade is right for you.

Does Mindglade see my browsing history? +

No. The extension only runs simple code on the small set of sites where it has filters. It doesn't read URLs from any other tab or track you across the internet.

Which browsers are supported? +

Mindglade is currently available on the Chrome Web Store. Other browsers are on the roadmap.

Is there a Mindglade mobile app? +

No. iOS doesn't have features to block in-app features and Android requires using AccessibilityServices. The solution is awkward: using Instagram on a browser and install a browser extension. The issue with AccessibilityServices is that it can see all your activity on Instagram. Mindglade prioritizes privacy.

Do I need to pay for Instagram blockers? +

No. Our Instagram blocker is the most feature of Mindglade (in our opinion), so it's free.
