Mindful Instagram - Chrome Web Store

Overview

Reclaim your attention. Use Instagram for messages, not mindless scrolling.

# Chrome Web Store Listing — Mindful Instagram ## Name Mindful Instagram ## Short Description (132 char max) Reclaim your attention. Block the feed, keep your DMs. 3 daily uses, auto-off timers, Focus Lock, and a 1-minute breathing exercise. ## Detailed Description **Stop scrolling. Start living.** Mindful Instagram transforms Instagram from an attention trap into a communication tool. It blocks the addictive parts — Reels, Explore, Search — while keeping what actually matters: your direct messages. **How it works:** When you open Instagram, instead of the endless feed, you see an inspirational quote and a direct link to your messages. That's it. No temptation, no "just one more scroll." **Key features:** • 3 daily toggle uses — Temporarily enable Home Feed, Stories, or Notifications with a built-in limit of 3 uses per day. Once you've used them, they lock until tomorrow. • 5-second cooldown — Every time you toggle something on, a 5-second pause gives you time to reconsider. Small friction, big impact. • 10/20-minute auto-off timers — A gentle reminder at 10 minutes, then automatic shut-off at 20 minutes. No more "I'll just check for a minute" turning into an hour. • Focus Lock — The nuclear option. Locks all controls for 24 hours. Cannot be reversed. For days when you need maximum discipline. • 1-minute guided meditation — A breathing exercise with a petal animation and progress timer. Center yourself before deciding to scroll. • Real DM notifications — See who messaged you right on the overlay. One click to open your inbox without touching the feed. • Elegant, distraction-free design — Inspired by Teenage Engineering hardware. No flashy UI, no dark patterns. Just a calm, beige interface that respects your attention. **What's always blocked:** Reels, Explore, Search — permanently hidden. No toggles, no exceptions. **What's always available:** Messages, Create, Profile — always accessible. Instagram is still useful for communication and sharing. **What's controllable:** Home Feed, Stories, Notifications — toggle on/off with daily usage limits and automatic timers. **Privacy:** This extension runs entirely in your browser. No data is collected, no analytics, no servers. Your settings sync via Chrome's built-in storage. That's it. --- Built with care by Shivam.
