The real problem
You don't need to quit the internet.
You need to remove the parts that pull you in.
One channel turns into an hour.
Full-site blockers break your workflow.
Actual extension UI
The only digital wellbeing extension you'll ever need.
Detox is designed like a calm browser tool: quick controls, readable screen time, and channel rules one click away.
What Detox does
Block the habit, not the site.
Every feature is small on purpose: quick to understand, hard to overconfigure, easy to trust.
Block websites
Add a domain once and Detox quietly keeps the habit out of reach.
Block YouTube channels
Remove the channels that pull you in while keeping useful YouTube open.
Hide Shorts and Reels
The infinite feeds disappear, but the platforms still work normally.
Daily time budgets
Set 30 minutes for a site and get a clear warning before the limit lands.
Local screen-time tracking
See where the day went without sending your browsing history anywhere.
Import and export everything
Move your rules and history with one JSON file. Your setup is yours.
Signature feature
Block the channel, not YouTube.
Keep tutorials, music, and useful videos. Remove the channels that pull you into rabbit holes.
