Full description
📵 Blocks only the short-form feed — not the whole app Blocking all of YouTube means losing study videos too. Block Shorts & Reels blocks only the dopamine-driven short-form feeds, so you keep using each app normally — the distractions go, the app stays. ■ For you, if… · "Just one Short" keeps turning into 30 lost minutes · Doomscrolling is the default every time you unlock your phone · A full app blocker was always too drastic to stick with · You want your screen time down and your focus back ■ What gets blocked · YouTube — Shorts · Instagram — Reels · TikTok — entire app · Plus any app you choose to block entirely Toggle each platform on and off individually. Apps you can't put down can be blocked entirely. ■ Highlights · Two permissions and you're done. No complicated setup · Entering a short-form screen shows a calm blocking screen with a quote about time · Really need to watch? "Allow 5 min" gives you a short pass ■ How it works & your privacy To block, the accessibility service only checks — in real time, on your device — whether the current screen is short-form video. Screen content is never stored or sent anywhere, and no personal data is collected. See our privacy policy for details. Take back the time short-form video has been taking from you.
