A powerful Safari extension for Mac that lets you filter unwanted posts from Reddit. Block specific topics, avoid spoilers, and customize your Reddit feed.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Edgar, an indie developer, and I'm excited to share Protego with you today.
I built Protego because I switched to Safari on macOS and discovered there was no way to filter Reddit posts anymore (RES isn't available for Safari, and its development has stalled). As someone who loves Reddit but values mental well-being, I needed a way to filter out potentially overwhelming content.
🛠 Key features:
- Filter posts using keywords and wildcards
- Works with both old and new Reddit
- Real-time filtering as you scroll
- Import/export your filters
- Everything happens locally on your device
🤔 What makes it different:
- Native Safari extension (no Chromium wrapper)
- Focus on simplicity and performance
- Privacy-first approach (no tracking, no accounts)
- Active development and support
I'm launching with a Black Friday sale (25% off) and have several updates already in App Review that add new features and improvements.
I'd love to hear your feedback and feature requests! I'll be around to answer questions and discuss how we can make Reddit browsing more mindful.
Thank you for checking out Protego! 🪄✨
