Everything Protego does

Your feed, back in your hands. Hide what you would rather not read, strip out what Reddit puts in the way, and put the feeds out of reach when you need to. Open any feature for the details.

Filter

Choose what Protego hides while you browse Reddit.

Transform

Choose what Protego changes about Reddit’s pages.

Limits

Choose how much of Reddit stays reachable in Safari. Blocked pages stop before they load, so there is nothing to scroll.

More than a filter

Protego started as a filter. These are the things it grew into: saving the video you actually want, and counting everything you never had to scroll past.

Privacy and accessibility

  • Protego has no account. You never sign up for anything.

  • No tracking, and no browsing history collected.

  • Your filter lists live on your devices and in your own iCloud, never on a server of mine.

  • Error reports are the only thing Protego sends on its own. They carry a random ID that identifies no person, never what you browse, filter, or type.

  • Trending terms are the only thing Protego fetches from a server of mine. Opening the keyword composer asks a Protego relay for today’s terms, sending a coarse region code and nothing else.

  • Built for VoiceOver: controls are announced properly, and contrast was raised throughout.

Worth knowing

  • Protego reads text. Words inside an image or a video are invisible to it.

  • Some settings apply to new Reddit only, and a few only to old Reddit. Each guide page says which.

  • With the Reddit app installed, Safari draws its own Smart App Banner above Reddit pages. It sits outside the page, where no extension can reach it. Uninstall the Reddit app for the best experience.

A calmer Reddit is one tap away
