Is this medical advice?

No. SanityMode is a browsing tool, not a treatment. If you're struggling, please reach out to a professional or a helpline near you.

Can I share my profile with a therapist?

Not yet — everything stays on your machine. Exporting your filter profile is on the roadmap.

Will my friends know I've blocked things?

No. Filtering happens locally in your browser. Nothing is posted, shared, or sent anywhere.

Depression-friendly browsing

A calmer internet when your mood is already low

When you're already low, the feed isn't neutral. SanityMode hides the patterns that consistently make low days lower — comparison, outrage, doom — without pretending the world is fine.

The pattern

You open Instagram and immediately feel worse about your week.
Twitter makes everyone else's life look more interesting than yours.
The news convinces you nothing you do matters anyway.

What SanityMode does

Popularity metrics blurred

Likes, follower counts, views and 'trending' lists are blurred or removed. You see the content, not the popularity contest.

Comparison patterns hidden

'You should see what they're doing' suggestion blocks on LinkedIn, Instagram and X collapse into a single, ignorable line.

Soft wind-down mode

After 9pm, your feeds desaturate and autoplay turns off, so late-night browsing doesn't end with you wired and worse.

Anxiety

SanityMode blurs shocking imagery and mutes fear-bait keywords so a quick check-in doesn't turn into an hour of dread, racing thoughts or that tight-chest feeling.

Doomscrolling

SanityMode quietly removes the doom headlines, infinite feeds and refresh-bait UI that pull you into hour-long scroll spirals — on the sites you already use.

Celebrity & gossip

SanityMode hides celebrity news, influencer feuds and 'who wore what' coverage across your feeds — so you stop knowing about people you've never met.

Breathing breaks

Once an hour, SanityMode gently asks you to come up for air with a 20-second box breath. No timer to start. No streak to maintain. Just one calm moment.
