Reddit blocker for Chrome
Stop opening Reddit “for a minute” and losing twenty.
Distractless pauses before reddit.com loads, helps you set a session limit,
and shows how much time you spent this week — stored locally on your device.
One thread becomes a scroll
You check one post. Then the comments. Then the home feed. Reddit is built for endless browsing — and it is easy to lose track of time without noticing.
A Reddit blocker can help — but a hard block breaks down when you genuinely need a subreddit for work or a hobby. Distractless adds a pause screen first: a moment to decide whether to continue, with your Reddit time visible before the feed loads.

Common questions
Does Distractless block Reddit completely?
No. Distractless shows a pause screen before Reddit loads. You can go back or continue. If you continue, a session limit can remind you when your planned time is up.
Can I still use Reddit when I need to?
Yes. The pause is there to stop mindless scrolling, not to forbid Reddit. Many people use Distractless to stay aware of time on feeds and comment threads.
Does it block old.reddit.com?
You add domains yourself. Include reddit.com, old.reddit.com,
or any variant you actually use from the extension popup.
Can I block YouTube and other sites too?
Yes. See our YouTube blocker and website blocker for Chrome pages, or add any site from the popup.
Does it work on the Reddit mobile app?
No. Distractless is a desktop Chrome extension. It does not block the Reddit app or mobile browsers.
