Full description
decaf removes AI slop and the addictive algorithm from social media. Social Media is built to keep you scrolling, decaf isn't. It opens your social accounts and strips out Reels, Shorts, AI text, ads, and suggested posts, leaving only the people and communities you actually followed. Get decaf to detox from social media. decaf interrupts the autopilot by showing a quote or a research fact before you open a platform and start doomscrolling. This helps turn a mindless habit into a conscious choice. WHAT DECAF DOES decaf opens Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and YouTube and blocks the parts designed to hijack your attention. No Reels. No Shorts. No suggested content pushing you toward accounts you don't follow. No promoted posts. Just updates from the people, subreddits, and channels you choose to follow. For many people, that makes social media feel personal again. Some parents also use decaf to create a simpler, more guided experience for teens who are not ready for recommendation-heavy short-form feeds. --- WHAT YOU GET - Posts from the accounts you follow, the way you intended - Individual filter toggles so you stay in control of what gets hidden - Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and YouTube in one focused place - AI and Ad free LinkedIn - AI free Facebook - Ad free Facebook - AI free Reddit - Ad free Reddit - Youtube without shorts - Ad free Instagram --- THE NO LIST - No AI slop - No brain rot - No Reels, Shorts, or short-form video feeds - No promoted or sponsored posts - No suggested content from accounts you never followed - No notifications stealing your attention - No invasive device permissions - No subscription or recurring charges - No user data collected, stored, or sent anywhere - No decaf account required --- SUPPORTED PLATFORMS Facebook (beta): hides Reels, sponsored posts, promoted posts. Hide the messenger button, the marketplace button, hide stories. Your feed stays close to the accounts you follow. Instagram: hides Reels, sponsored posts, and the Explore feed. Hide posts from people you don't follow. Open the feed in chronological order. Your feed stays close to the accounts you follow. LinkedIn: removes suggested and promoted posts and AI generated posts. Your feed reflects your connections and the pages you follow. Reddit: removes suggested and promoted posts and AI generated posts. A clean experience, focused on the subreddits you joined. YouTube: hides Shorts in the feed, the Shorts button and Shorts in search results. --- TRUST AND PRIVACY Privacy is the foundation of decaf. Your data does not leave your device. decaf never asks for your social media credentials. Your session is sandboxed inside the app, the same way a browser keeps sites separate from each other. decaf has no server, no account system, no tracking and no way to see what you browse.

What's new

Bug fixes and performance improvements to keep your feed ad-free, algorithm-free, and AI slop-free. Reddit, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube filtering is now even more reliable.
