How to Reclaim Your Morning From Social Media
Social media before 9 AM sets a reactive tone for your entire day. Here's how to protect your morning and start the day on your terms.
Getting Started
Solo Media is a browser extension that hides social media distractions. This guide will walk you through installation and enabling Creator Mode.
Step 1: Install the Extension
Solo Media works with all major browsers. Visit solomedia.top and click "Add to Browser" (or "Add to Chrome" / "Add to Firefox" depending on your browser).
The extension is free to install and includes all core features.
Step 2: Enable Creator Mode
After installation, click the Solo Media icon in your browser toolbar and toggle Creator Mode ON.
Creator Mode is designed for content creators who need to:
- Post and manage content
- Check analytics and insights
- Respond to comments and messages
- Stay focused without getting distracted by feeds
When Creator Mode is ON, you'll see only your own content and creator tools. All distracting feeds, recommendations, and navigation are hidden.
Step 3: Try It Out
Open Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, or any supported platform. You'll immediately see the difference—distracting elements are hidden, and you'll see only your own content.
Don't worry: you can toggle Creator Mode OFF anytime with one click.
Step 4: Set Up Scheduling (Optional)
Want blocking active only during work hours? Or weekdays only?
- Click the Solo Media icon
- Go to "Schedule"
- Set your focus hours for each day of the week
The free plan includes 3 scheduled time windows. Pro users get unlimited scheduling.
Next Steps
You're all set! Use social media for a few days and check your analytics to see how much time you're saving. Most users save 5-10 hours per week once they've adjusted to intentional usage.
