Politics
A break from politics, without going off-grid
SanityMode hides political posts and election coverage on the sites you already use — temporarily or permanently. You can come back to it; you don't have to live in it.
The pattern
- Every feed is the same three stories in different colors.
- You can't tell anymore if you're informed or just exhausted.
- You want to be a citizen, not a 24/7 news consumer.
What SanityMode does
Political keywords muted
Posts and headlines naming candidates, parties and elections get hidden or softened. You decide which terms count.
Election-season mode
A single toggle hides election coverage entirely for a chosen number of weeks, then quietly turns itself back off.
Civic news still reachable
Local-government, voting-information and 'how to' civic content stays visible — only the horse-race coverage is filtered.
FAQ
- Is this politically biased?
- No. It hides political content regardless of which side it comes from. The filter doesn't read positions; it reads patterns.
- Can I un-mute one party but not the other?
- Technically yes via keyword lists — but we don't recommend it. The point is less of all of it, not a tuned partisan bubble.
- Will I miss the election?
- No. Election Day reminders and your local polling info stay visible. Only the constant coverage between cycles is filtered.

Ads & sponsored
SanityMode doesn't replace your ad-blocker. It calms the ads that get through — desaturating them, removing motion and hiding 'sponsored' posts inline in your feeds.
Economic doom
SanityMode hides 'recession imminent', 'housing crash', 'market in freefall' style finance-panic coverage — without hiding actual financial information you choose to follow.
