War & conflict
Step back from constant war coverage without going dark
SanityMode lets you dial down war and conflict coverage — from 'see everything' to 'one daily summary' to 'hide entirely' — so you can stay informed without living inside it.
The pattern
- Every feed leads with the same conflict footage on loop.
- You feel hopeless and informed in equal measure, every day.
- You want to know what's happening — not to be inside it 16 hours a day.
What SanityMode does
Three intensity levels
Full coverage, one daily summary, or fully hidden. You can switch any time; defaults to 'daily summary'.
Graphic imagery blurred
Combat and casualty imagery is blurred by default, with a clear 'tap to reveal' if you choose to see it.
Donation links surfaced
When a conflict is filtered, a small footer offers vetted donation and helping-action links — so 'not looking' isn't 'not helping'.
FAQ
- Is this taking a political side?
- No. The filter treats all conflict coverage the same regardless of region or framing.
- Can I follow one specific conflict?
- Yes. Add the keywords you want to follow to your allowlist; everything else stays filtered.
- Who picks the donation links?
- A small, public list of major aid organizations (Red Cross, UNICEF, MSF). You can disable the footer.
