Doomscroll Cat: Block Shorts

Can't stop scrolling Shorts, Reels and TikTok? Doomscroll Cat sets a daily limit, then a grumpy cat blocks the screen until you complete a quick mission. No willpower needed. No account. Everything stays on your phone. WHO IT'S FOR - You open YouTube for one video and surface 40 minutes later in Shorts - Reels keep you up past midnight - You've tried "just stopping" and it never sticks HOW IT WORKS 🐱 Detects short-form video, not the whole app Catches the Shorts tab, Shorts in the home feed, Instagram Reels and short-form URLs in your mobile browser. TikTok is all short-form, so the whole app counts. Regular YouTube videos, your Instagram feed and DMs keep working. ⏰ Daily allowance and bedtime block Decide how many minutes of short-form you get per day. Hit the limit and the block screen appears. Set a bedtime window and you're blocked instantly, no grace period. 🙀 A block screen you can't just swipe away Escape by completing a mission: flip your phone face-down for 5 seconds, or hold the circle through three slow breaths. 📈 Restraint streak and weekly/monthly charts See today's, this week's and this month's short-form time, and how many days in a row you've stayed under your limit. 🎨 Dress up your cat Pick from a set of hand-drawn cats to appear on your block screen. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parent PIN Installed it on a child's phone? Lock the limit and bedtime settings behind a PIN. PRIVACY - Deciding whether a screen is short-form video happens 100% on your device and is discarded immediately. Nothing is sent to a server. - Usage history and settings live in local storage and disappear when you uninstall. - Anonymous product stats are sent only if you switch them on in Settings (off by default), and never include which videos or apps you used. GOOD TO KNOW - This app uses the Android Accessibility Service to tell whether the current screen is short-form video. It is used only for that, and the app explains why before asking for the permission. - Paid cat skins are optional. Blocking, missions and stats are completely free. - When YouTube, Instagram or TikTok update their apps, detection may briefly miss. We fix it as fast as we can, but 100% blocking isn't guaranteed.
