Social sites are built to keep you scrolling. Sift removes the parts that do the pulling and leaves the parts you came for.

Hide the algorithmic "For You" feed but keep the people you follow. Hide Shorts, Reels and TikToks. Hide recommendations, trending panels and "who to follow" — while search keeps working.

Control each site on its own

• Turn Sift off on one site without touching the others
• Pause for 10 minutes when you need to
• Block a site outright, behind a screen with a 15-minute escape
• Set a daily time limit, from 5 minutes to 2 hours
• Force dark mode on sites that don't offer one

On YouTube you can also

• Remove thumbnails, leaving titles and channel names
• Hide comments
• Hide community posts, live streams, Mixes and Playables in the feed
• Hide the recommendations sidebar and end-screen cards

Supported sites

YouTube and YouTube Music, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit (new and old), LinkedIn, Facebook, Bluesky, Pinterest, Substack, Twitch.

Mobile layouts included, and Sift runs on Firefox for Android.

Your settings stay yours

Sift collects nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no remote code. Settings live in your browser and follow your Firefox account if you use Sync.

Every option is a toggle: start with the defaults and turn back on whatever you miss.
