You decide what enters your mind — not the algorithm.
Mellow is the quiet guardian between you and the internet's most addictive machines. Whether you're a parent protecting a child or an adult reclaiming your own attention — Mellow gives you back control.
Built for anyone who values their attention.
You don't need to be a parent to feel the weight of a feed that never ends.
Parents
Shield your children from algorithms designed to exploit developing minds. Give them social media without the side effects.
Mindful Adults
Notice how much time vanishes into "For You" feeds? Mellow returns you to intentional browsing — you follow people, not algorithms.
Wellness-Focused
Whether you're managing anxiety, protecting your sleep, or simply choosing what earns your attention — Mellow is your companion.
The loneliness pandemic has an engine.
Social media was built to connect us. But today's recommendation engines are designed to maximise watch time — at any cost to your wellbeing.
For teenagers, algorithmic isolation amplifies anxiety, poor body image, and depression. For adults, it manufactures outrage and creates compulsive habits disguised as entertainment.
Mellow strips away the manipulation, returning social media to its original promise — connection without coercion. For every age.
Quietly effective.
Mellow works seamlessly in the background, removing the addictive elements while keeping the core functionality intact.
Blocks "For You" Feeds
Algorithmic discovery feeds are hidden. Users only see content from accounts they've consciously chosen to follow — no more random recommendations pulling them deeper.
Removes Infinite Scroll
We bring back the end of the feed. Once you've seen new posts from people you follow, the scroll stops. No more late-night doomscrolling.
Hides Vanity Metrics
Likes, view counts, and follower numbers are concealed to reduce social comparison and the anxiety of performance culture.
Works where you spend your time.

Mellow Pro
Advanced parental controls, custom schedules, detailed usage insights, and multi-device management — for families who need deeper control without the complexity.
Mellow App
System-wide protection that works inside the actual apps — not just in the browser. The true shield for the devices they carry everywhere, all day long.
Built on trust, not data.
Our philosophy is simple: we protect your attention as fiercely as we protect your data.
No account needed.
Install the extension and it works immediately. We don't want your email, your name, or your payment details — for the free version, ever.
No data collected.
Mellow runs entirely on your local device. We never see what you or your child browses, clicks, or watches. Your habits are yours alone.
Open philosophy.
Basic digital safety shouldn't be a luxury. The core extension is free because everyone deserves to control what enters their mind.
People are reclaiming their attention.
