I built this because X became impossible to use without getting sucked into endless scrolling.

The algorithm is incredibly good at showing engaging content - which is exactly the problem. I wanted to check updates from people I follow, not spend 40 minutes on rage bait and viral threads.

X Detox lets you: - Hide the "For You" feed and keep only "Following" - Remove trending topics and "What's happening" - Hide engagement metrics (likes, retweets, view counts) - Disable infinite scroll with a customizable post limit

It's not about quitting X entirely - it's about using it intentionally.

I'm a software engineer in Tokyo and this is part of a series of "digital detox" extensions I've been building. Feedback welcome!
