NoorLock
Reclaim your attention.
NoorLock blocks YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels before they load. Use the platforms you actually came for without the algorithm-driven distraction surfaces.
Store listings coming soon. In the meantime, install from source: browser.
Supported platforms
Each surface can be toggled on or off independently from the popup.
How it works
Network-layer blocking
The browser extension uses declarativeNetRequest to redirect short-form URLs before the page even starts loading. No flash of content, no wasted bandwidth.
DOM-level rail removal
Shorts and Reels rails on the home feeds are removed live via a MutationObserver. You can still use these sites for what you actually came for.
Zero data collection
No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, no servers. Settings and block counts stay in local storage on your device, full stop.
Open source
Both apps are open on GitHub. Audit exactly what the code does — or fork it.
Cross-browser
One MV3 codebase, builds for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari via WXT.
Resilient to vendor changes
A monthly CI job runs the full test suite to catch silent selector regressions when platforms rename their DOM.
Quick controls
The browser popup gives you today’s block count, per-platform all-time totals, and a switch for each surface. Everything is local — no sign-in, no sync, no servers.
On Android, the same controls live in the app itself; the Accessibility Service stays running so blocks happen across every installed social app.
Built privacy-first
NoorLock collects no data. There are no analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, no third-party SDKs. Read the full privacy policy or audit the source.
