Features
Customize everything.
Nope gives you 17 toggles across Instagram and YouTube, all in a single panel. Surgical, not nuclear.
One-click toggles
Switch any distraction on or off without restarting your browser. Changes apply instantly.
Granular controls
Turn off only what bothers you. Keep Stories, lose Reels — or vice versa. You decide.
Auto URL redirect
Tap a Reels or Shorts link in a DM? Nope routes you to the regular feed instead.
Privacy first
No accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Everything runs on your device.

Testimonials
Loved by people who got their time back.
★★★★★
“I picked up my phone today, opened Instagram, and just… closed it. Nothing to scroll past Stories. This is the only thing that’s ever worked.”

“I work in social media. The irony of needing this is not lost on me. Saved my evenings.”

Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Is Nope free?
Yes — the Chrome extension and the iOS app are completely free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no promotion tiers. We may add an optional Pro plan later for power users, but everything described on this page is free forever.
Do you collect my data?
No. Nope has no accounts and no telemetry. All settings live on your device. We never see what you browse.
Will Instagram or YouTube break?
No. Nope only hides chrome — feeds, tabs, shelves, and recommendations. Posts, watch pages, search, and DMs keep working normally.
What if I want my feeds back?
Open Nope and flip any toggle off. Changes apply instantly on Chrome, and within ~1.5 seconds on Safari iOS.
Does it work on mobile browsers?
Yes, on iPhone and iPad through the Safari extension. Android browsers do not support web extensions, so the iOS app is the only mobile option today.
Take back your attention.
Free forever. No account. Two minutes to install. Lifetime of focus.
