Full description
Stop doomscrolling. Block short videos — keep your apps. Shortstop blocks YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and Snapchat Spotlight so you reduce screen time and regain focus — without deleting the apps you need. Most app blockers force you to block entire apps. Shortstop is different: it's a selective short video blocker that blocks Shorts and Reels inside your apps, so you keep messaging, posts, search and long-form videos. If you're looking for an app to block YouTube Shorts, an app to block Instagram Reels, or a TikTok blocker that targets short videos only — Shortstop is built for that. 🚫 BLOCK SHORT VIDEOS — NOT YOUR APPS Shortstop removes addictive short video feeds while keeping everything else: ✓ DMs and messages ✓ Posts and stories ✓ Long-form videos ✓ Search and useful features No more "just one more video." No more deleting apps. Shortstop is a shorts blocker and social media blocker that targets the problem — not your entire social life. ✅ BLOCK YOUTUBE SHORTS (ONLY) Want to block YouTube Shorts while keeping YouTube? Shortstop is a YouTube Shorts blocker that removes the Shorts feed so you stay on YouTube for learning, subscriptions, music and long videos. Whether you want to hide YouTube Shorts, disable Shorts, or remove YouTube Shorts completely — Shortstop blocks YouTube Shorts on Android without touching the rest of the app. ✅ BLOCK INSTAGRAM REELS (ONLY) Shortstop is an Instagram Reels blocker built to block Reels while keeping Instagram usable. If you want to block Instagram Reels only, disable Reels, or remove Reels from Instagram — Shortstop blocks the Reels feed while keeping: ✓ Instagram DMs ✓ Posts and stories ✓ Explore and search Stop Reels from pulling you into endless scrolling. Keep Instagram distraction free. ✅ TIKTOK BLOCKER TikTok is built around short videos. Shortstop can block TikTok short videos or block the TikTok app entirely during focus time — making it a simple TikTok blocker for Android. ✅ SNAPCHAT SPOTLIGHT BLOCKER Shortstop also blocks Snapchat Spotlight, the short video feed inside Snapchat. Keep Snapchat for messaging and stories without the scrolling. ⏱️ REDUCE SCREEN TIME YOUR WAY • Daily limit — Set a shared daily limit for Shorts, Reels and Spotlight. Once reached, short videos are blocked automatically across selected apps. • Scheduled focus sessions — Block short videos during work, study, mornings or before bed. Shortstop becomes a lightweight social media blocker during focus time. • Full app block — Need stronger boundaries? Block any selected app completely. Shortstop works as an app blocker when you need it. Setup takes less than a minute. 🧠 WHY BLOCKING SHORT VIDEOS WORKS Short-form video feeds use infinite scroll and rapid dopamine hits to keep you watching. Doomscrolling through Shorts and Reels drains your attention span and wastes hours every day. Shortstop removes the trigger so you can: • Stop doomscrolling naturally • Reduce screen time without frustration • Improve your attention span • Regain focus and productivity • Break your scrolling addiction ⭐ KEY FEATURES • Short video blocker for Shorts, Reels, TikTok, Spotlight • Selective blocking — block short videos inside apps, not the apps themselves • Block YouTube Shorts only or block Instagram Reels only • Daily screen time limits for short videos • Scheduled focus sessions • Optional full app blocking • No account required — no personal data collected 🔒 PRIVACY Shortstop uses Android Accessibility Service only to detect short video feeds and apply your blocking rules. It does not read your messages or track personal activity. Take back your time. Install Shortstop — the short video blocker and shorts blocker to block YouTube Shorts, block Instagram Reels, stop doomscrolling and regain focus.
