Stop doomscrolling - without quitting social media.
You don't need to delete your apps. You just need a smarter boundary.
Dam It! automatically blocks short video feeds the moment they appear - silently, in the background - so you stay in control of your time without ever opening Dam It! itself.

WHY DAM IT?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Short-form video is engineered to be addictive. Dam It! is engineered to break that loop.
Unlike blunt app blockers, Dam It! blocks only the short-form video sections of your favorite apps - not the whole app. You can still message friends, browse posts, and watch videos people send you. The algorithm just can't pull you in.

KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 Invisible Dam
Blocking happens entirely in the background. You never need to open Dam It! once it's set up.
🎯 Precision Blocking
Only short-form video content (Reels, Shorts, ... feeds) is blocked. All other features of your social media apps work normally.
🛡️ Maximum Privacy - No Account Required
No sign-up. No cloud sync. No data collection. Everything runs 100% on-device. We never see your data - because we never touch it.

ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dam It! uses Android's AccessibilityService API to deliver its core feature: detecting and blocking short-form video content to help you overcome doomscrolling.
What it does:
The Accessibility Service monitors which app is in the foreground and detects when short-form video components - such as Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts - are being displayed. When detected, it triggers Dam It!'s "Invisible Dam" and overlays a block screen.
Why it's necessary:
This is the only technical method available on Android to distinguish between regular social media use and short-form video scrolling - without requiring you to manually toggle the app on and off every time.
Your privacy is guaranteed:
Dam It! does not collect, store, or transmit any data through the AccessibilityService API. No personal information, messages, notifications, or browsing activity ever leaves your device. All processing happens locally and securely, on-device only.

TAKE BACK YOUR TIME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The average person loses 2+ hours a day to short-form video. Dam It! gives that time back - quietly, automatically, and on your terms.
Break the habit. Build the dam. Reclaim your life.
