Instagram Focus
See what people send you. Skip everything else.
A Chrome extension that hides Instagram's home feed, stories tray, explore page, and reels scroll — while leaving direct messages, your profile, and posting fully intact.

Overview
Instagram is built to keep you scrolling. Instagram Focus strips out the surfaces designed to do that — the home feed, stories, explore, reels — while leaving messages, your profile, and posting completely untouched. Toggle it on or off instantly from the popup.
What it changes

- Home feed (the main scrolling timeline)
- Stories tray
- Explore page (blocked entirely, with a focus-mode overlay)
- Reels scroll feed
