Use Instagram and YouTube normally, without getting stuck in endless short-video loops. NoScroll blocks only the distracting Reels and Shorts sections, so you keep access to the rest of the app while cutting out the part that wastes your time.
No app bans. No website blockers. Just targeted, automatic blocking where you need it most.
Key features

Battery friendly — Works smoothly with minimal battery drain.
Fully local — Everything runs on your device. No data leaves your phone.

If you want something more app-store style and sharper:
NoScroll blocks only Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, so you can keep using your favorite apps without the endless scroll trap. It works locally on your device, uses Accessibility only to detect short-video sections, and never reads your messages or stores your browsing activity.
