    Why the browser

    Reddit belongs in your browser

    The official app is built to keep you scrolling. In Safari, you decide what Reddit shows you, and Protego does the filtering.

  • You set the terms
  • The app serves a feed tuned to keep you there. In Safari, Protego filters it by your rules, so what is left is what you came for.
  • Quiet by default
  • No notifications begging you back, no red badge on an icon. Reddit is there when you open a tab, and gone when you close it.
  • Less of you gets collected
  • Reading in Safari keeps Reddit’s app off your phone, along with everything an app can gather in the background. Safari’s tracker blocking handles the rest.
  • No “get the app” walls
  • No full-screen nags to install the app, no login wall just to read a thread. Protego clears the few interruptions that are left. Why your mobile browser beats Reddit’s app→

    On your own terms

    Reddit is full of posts worth reading, mixed with plenty you would rather skip. Filter hides what you never want to see, Transform clears the clutter and distractions from everything else, and Limits helps you step away when you have scrolled enough. What is left is the content you actually came for.

    Filter

    Choose what you filter

  • Keywords·Hide posts whose title, body, or community name matches a pattern.
  • Communities·Hide a whole community, or block its page.
  • Users·Hide one person’s posts and comments.
  • Domains·Hide posts linking to a particular site.
  • Social Media·Hide posts linking to X, TikTok, and more.
  • Keywords go further: politic\* matches politic, politics, and political, \[#m\] hides \[30m\] and \[18m\], and keyword groups switch a whole set on or off at once. Pull suggestions trending in your region, and switch any filter off without deleting it.

    Transform

    Clear away the clutter

    Transform reshapes Reddit’s pages. Pick a preset and Protego applies a recommended set of options, stripping out distractions to bring new Reddit closer to the old one. Fine-tune anything afterward.

  • Hide thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, banners, and the vote, award, and join buttons
  • Hide recommendations, promoted posts, login and app nudges, and Reddit Answers
  • Collapse or hide comments carrying media, and the moderator comment pinned in threads
  • Bring back post authors on the home, popular, and news feeds, where Reddit hides them
  • A Reddit community in Safari on a Mac with Protego off: banner, highlights carousel, thumbnails, badges, and a promoted postThe same community with Transform on: a calm text-first feed, each post with a Protego control

    Limits

    Take back your time

    Filtering hides what you do not want to see. Limits goes further and blocks Reddit itself, a step at a time. Pair a limit with a Focus like Sleep or Study and it turns itself on.

    1. 0Off Nothing is blocked. 2. 1Block Home & Popular Everything else stays open. 3. 2Block all main feeds Communities and posts stay open. 4. 3Allow posts only Only direct links to posts are allowed. 5. 4Block everything All of Reddit is blocked.

    Stats

    Count what never reached you

    Every post Protego filters is one you never had to scroll past. The Stats screen adds them up, this month and across the lifetime of your lists, with an activity chart of the noise you skipped. Counts sync across your devices, and a shareable card turns a satisfying number into a brag.

    Why people love Protego

  • > After installing this, I uninstalled the Reddit app on my phone.
  • > All of a sudden Reddit isn’t complete trash anymore. Less than a dozen words in my filter list and my front page is completely different.
  • > I really enjoy using Reddit but the non-stop deluge about certain public figures and topics was starting to impact my well-being. Reddit removed the ability to filter posts containing key words. I found this app to fill that gap and it has been doing the trick!
