ZenGram: Mindful Instagram, Your Way Extension

ZenGram is a browser extension that transforms Instagram into a tool that works for you, not against you. It empowers you to remove distractions, reduce mindless scrolling, and reconnect with the parts of Instagram you actually care about.

ZenGram is completely free, lightweight, and privacy-conscious — your data stays yours.

With ZenGram, you decide what to see and what to block. The extension offers an easy-to-use settings page to toggle features on or off, giving you a streamlined and intentional Instagram experience.

What can ZenGram do for you?

🔀 Redirect Mode: Automatically skip the clutter and land directly on Messages or the Following tab when you open Instagram.
🚫 Block Unnecessary Features: Hide Reels, Explore, Stories, and even the main Posts feed if you need a break from scrolling.
🚫 Tidy Up the Sidebar: Remove the homepage sidebar and suggested followers to keep your focus on what matters.

Instagram is designed to keep you hooked, but ZenGram lets you regain control. By removing the clutter and focusing on what matters, you can use Instagram purposefully — whether to connect with friends, share moments, or simply stay informed.
