Protego for Reddit

Add a keyword, a community, a user, or a domain, and matching posts quietly disappear from your feed. Protego is a Safari extension with a companion app, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.

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. No notifications pulling you back, no "get the app" walls, and no Reddit app on your phone collecting in the background.

FILTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE:

- Keywords - Hide posts whose title, body, or community name matches a word or phrase

- Communities - Hide everything from a community, or block its page entirely

- Users - Hide one person's posts and comments

- Domains - Hide posts linking to a particular site

- Social Media - Hide posts linking to X, Instagram, TikTok, and more

Keywords go further: * matches a word and its variations, # matches any 1 to 3 digit number, and groups switch a whole set on or off at once. Any filter can be switched off without deleting it.

See it working: Reveal Mode outlines every post a filter would hide instead of hiding it, and Preview tries a keyword before you save it.

SET UP IN ONE TAP:

Pick a preset (Off, Minimal, Balanced, or Focused) and Protego applies a recommended set of options, stripping out distractions to bring new Reddit closer to the old one. Fine-tune anything afterward.

CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER:

- Hide thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, vote controls, award and join buttons, and community banners

- Hide recommendations, promoted posts, login and app nudges, and Reddit Answers

- Hide the strip of pinned highlight cards above a community's feed

- Collapse or hide comments carrying media, and the moderator comment pinned to the top of a thread

MAKE REDDIT EASIER TO USE:

- Color-code comment threads by reply depth, with four themes to pick from

- Jump between comments by reply depth, and return to the top of a thread in one tap

- Open comment pages with every reply chain folded away

- Open posts from a feed in a new tab, so the feed keeps your place

- Bring back who posted on the home, popular, and news feeds

- Skip Reddit's For You home test and return to Following (experimental)

- Land on old Reddit automatically, with an endless feed

- Give old Reddit the dark theme it has never had, and drop communities' custom styling

PUT REDDIT OUT OF REACH:

Filtering hides what you do not want to see. Limits goes further and blocks Reddit itself, a step at a time: Home and Popular first, then all main feeds, then everything but direct links to posts, then all of Reddit. Pair a limit with a Focus like Sleep or Study and it turns itself on.

PRIVACY:

No account, no tracking, no browsing history collected. Your filter lists stay on your devices and in your own iCloud.

YOURS ON EVERY DEVICE:

- One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro

- No subscription, and optional tips are the only in-app purchase. Nothing is locked behind them

- Lists sync over your own iCloud, even with the app closed

- Works on new and old Reddit

- English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese

- Search every setting by name or by what it does

- Import and export your lists

- Stats showing how much Protego has filtered, with a shareable card

Protego filters text: post titles, bodies, community and author names, and link addresses. It cannot read words inside images or videos. Filtered posts are hidden from your view. Nothing is removed from Reddit, and nobody is notified.
