About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

I wish Facebook was supported but the fact it supports Instagram means that I chose to pay for the app. Dev worked to get the issue with Instagram feed stopping! great support on top of a great product. I have been using a different app, but it's in beta and does not currently block AI posts

Does exactly what it says it does...social media without the distractions. Staying in touch with your network as social media should be for. Easy to use, customisable and gives control back on how you want to use social media. Staying connected online and spending more time offline couldnt be easier!

Great app for browsing Reddit and Instagram. It is the only app that seems to be able to hide AI posts too. Reddit is super clean and my Instagram screen time is greatly reduced now I only see posts from people I follow.
