BACKTOLIFE — USE SOCIAL MEDIA WITH CONTROL

Stop losing hours to Reels, Shorts, infinite feeds, and recommendations designed to keep you scrolling.

BackToLife helps you use Instagram, YouTube, and X more intentionally by removing the most addictive elements from each platform.

Important: BackToLife does not modify the official Instagram, YouTube, or X apps. It works by loading their web versions inside a controlled browsing environment, where you can apply filters to reduce distractions and regain control.

HOW IT WORKS

BackToLife opens social media platforms through their web versions inside the app.

From there, you can activate filters to hide sections like Reels, Shorts, Explore, For You, suggestions, comments, notifications, or autoplay.

This helps you open your social media to do what you actually intended to do, without falling into endless content.

Your apps. Your rules. Your time.

STRICT SCHEDULE

Choose time blocks where your configuration stays locked.

For example: from 9:00 to 23:00 every day.

During that schedule, you cannot disable filters or change your restrictions. Outside the strict schedule, you regain full control of your settings.

It is designed to help you keep your limits when you need them most.

STREAK

Every day you complete your strict schedule adds one day to your streak.

If you break the schedule by disabling filters during locked hours, your streak resets to zero.

You can see your current streak and your record to track your progress in a simple, visual way.

Consistency builds the streak. The streak reflects your progress.

TIME METRICS

Accessibility permission
BackToLife uses Android's Accessibility Service to power its app-blocking feature. With your explicit consent, it detects when an app you've chosen to block is opened and shows a blocking screen, helping you reduce time on distracting apps.
BackToLife uses the Accessibility Service only for this on-device app-blocking function. It does not collect or share personal data, read screen content, record audio, change your settings without permission, or stop you from disabling or uninstalling apps. You can turn it off anytime in your device's Accessibility settings.

Ratings and reviews

It is good, but it usually bugs and, as it is only Instagram and yt on a web browser, it'll had a very bad UI

I was so excited for this app because I always thought of it and I never saw it anywhere, but it doesn't even let me create an account. I already downloaded it two times, but nothing's seems to work. I will wait tho, I hope it works out.

horrible the multi language option being premium

What’s new

What's new in 1.4.5
• When you connect to a parent, a guided setup now walks you through turning on the recommended protection, step by step.
• Content filters stay put: Reels no longer slip through when a reel is opened from a chat.
• Stability and polish: a crashed page recovers instead of closing the app, plus fixes throughout.
