Steady: Reduce Motion & Calm the Web

Description

Forcibly reduces motion and sensory overload on every website, while keeping pages fully interactive. Steady is for people with vestibular disorders, migraines, ADHD, autism, and motion sensitivity, and for anyone who finds the modern web exhausting. Most "reduce motion" tools fail in one of two ways. Some freeze the page with a screenshot overlay, which breaks the moment you scroll. Others just flip the prefers-reduced-motion flag, which most websites ignore. Steady injects reduced-motion rules into every page directly, so it works whether or not the site cooperates, and the page stays fully usable the whole time. What it does on every site, automatically: - Animations and transitions settle instantly into their finished state. Content that animates into view still appears; banners and carousels keep their normal rhythm instead of strobing. - Autoplaying video and audio are paused. Anything you press play on yourself is left alone. - Animated GIFs freeze on their first frame, including ones loaded as you scroll. - Fixed-background parallax stops drifting. - Web Animations API effects (used by many modern sites) are stilled too. You stay in control: - One master switch, on by default. - "Allow motion on this site" remembers per-site exceptions. - Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+S for the current site, Alt+Shift+G for everything. - A small badge appears on the toolbar icon only when Steady is NOT calming the page. Quiet by design: no servers, no analytics, no network requests, no account. Your settings never leave your device. Open source under the MIT license: https://github.com/Ronnel-Matthew-Robles/steady
