ScrollDetox: Reels & Shorts Blocker | Digital Detox | Reclaim Focus | Stop Doomscrolling Ever open Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts for “just 5 minutes” and suddenly realize you have been scrolling far longer? ScrollDetox is a Reels blocker, Shorts blocker and digital detox app designed to stop endless scrolling without forcing you to delete Instagram or YouTube. Keep the apps you need. Block the feeds that keep you scrolling. ▶️ With ScrollDetox, you can: • Block Instagram Reels • Block YouTube Shorts • Stop endless scrolling and doomscrolling • Keep Instagram and YouTube for normal use • Watch long-form videos • Use chat, DMs, search, profiles, posts and other useful features • Track blocked attempts and time reclaimed • View scrolling trends, peak times and habit progress THREE MODES FOR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CONTROL 🔒 Strict Mode Maximum protection against endless short-form scrolling. Block every Instagram Reel and YouTube Short so you can study, work, create, or focus without the next swipe pulling you back in. 1️⃣ One Pass Mode Sometimes you actually need one Reel or Short. One Pass Mode lets you watch the video you intentionally opened, then blocks the next swipe. Watch one video on purpose without falling into another endless feed. ☕️ Break Mode Take a controlled break instead of removing your protection. • Set a break for up to 20 minutes per session • Use your daily 60-minute break allowance • Take multiple controlled breaks • Protection resumes automatically when your break ends 📊 ANALYTICS THAT SHOW YOUR REAL SCROLLING HABITS ScrollDetox goes beyond simply blocking content. See how your habits change over time with personal progress and behavior insights. • Total focus time reclaimed since installation • Total blocked attempts • Current and best streak • 14-day scrolling trend • Separate Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts analytics • Time reclaimed and attempts blocked for each app • Peak scrolling time for each app • Morning, afternoon, evening and night scrolling patterns • Consistency calendar with daily habit status • Daily details for blocked attempts, time reclaimed, Shorts, Reels and break usage Find patterns such as your peak scrolling hour and see when you are most likely to get pulled into short-form content.
