Rasheed Bryant (ID: 000000aa0c6760e8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/04/2023 This app effectively blocks the home feed on Reddit, preventing me from losing focus by scrolling through countless pages of memes and discussions when I should be working. I would even pay for this since the UI is simple and it WORKS.
