I've been building Heyday for the past few months as a way to manage online distractions without blocking the internet entirely. Rather than relying on willpower or total abstinence, it reshapes how distracting sites behave.
This video walks through the basics: removing feeds, applying grayscale, setting schedules, and creating rules that actually stick.
The idea is simple. Instagram's feed is the problem, not Instagram itself. YouTube's homepage algorithm is the trap, not the platform. X's infinite scroll keeps you there, not the ability to post or check notifications.
Heyday lets you keep what's useful and remove what's manipulative. You don't quit social media or other addictive sites. You just make them less addictive.
It's still early, but it's definitely improved my life.. If you want to try it, you can install it on your Chrome Browser today. The core features are free.
If you have feedback, ideas, or just want to share how you think about digital wellbeing, I'd genuinely like to hear it. You can reach me at hello@heydayfocus.com.
Take control of your online experience. Remove distractions, set boundaries, and browse with intention—on your terms.
