Your WordPress dashboard shouldn’t feel like Times Square.
Dashboard Detox removes the noise — stopping marketing messages, “rate this plugin” nags, upgrade prompts, sales banners, Black Friday ads, and countless popup notices that keep interrupting your workflow.
It works automatically, with no setup needed, and includes a lightweight optional settings page for power users.
Perfect for developers, agencies, and anyone who wants wp-admin to stay clean and distraction-free.

Need more control? Dashboard Detox Pro
The free version gives you a clean, quiet dashboard with zero configuration.
If you’d like more fine-grained control, Dashboard Detox Pro adds a few extra tools:
- Add custom “blocked keywords” to hide specific promos or campaigns.
- Whitelist important notices by keyword so they are never hidden.
- Turn on Debug Mode to highlight notices that would be hidden, instead of actually hiding them.
- Ideal for agencies and developers managing lots of client sites.
