Dopamine Shelter (Doshim) 🚫
Take a break from Reels, Shorts, and infinite scrolling to regain your focus.
Do you open your social media just to check it briefly, only to find yourself constantly scrolling through Reels and Shorts?
Short videos and endless feeds keep you watching the next content, stealing more time than you might think.
Instead of blocking the entire social media app, Dopamine Shelter is a digital well-being app that focuses on reducing repetitive short-form content and infinite scrolling.
Create healthier usage habits by restricting only content like Reels and Shorts, while still allowing you to check messages and use necessary social media functions.
🌿 The Core of Dopamine Shelter
Typical app blockers completely block the social media app itself.
However, social media also includes necessary functions such as messaging, contacting others, and checking information.
Dopamine Shelter does not block the entire app; instead, it focuses on the content that consumes the most time.
Use the functions you need, and reduce unnecessary scrolling.

Accessibility Service User Guide
Dopamine Shelter uses the Android Accessibility Service API.
• Purpose: Detects Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts screens to provide blocking/restriction features configured by the user.
• How it works: The Accessibility Service reads the screen layout of the Instagram and YouTube apps to determine if the content is short-form content (Reels/Shorts), and restricts entry to that screen when blocking is enabled.
• Collection/Transmission: Screen information read by the Accessibility Service is used solely for the blocking function within the device and is not transmitted to external servers.
• Permission Control: Users can manually turn Accessibility permissions on and off in Settings, and it does not interfere with app deletion or permission revocation.
• Scope: This permission is not used for remote recording, unauthorized modification of user settings, or bypassing privacy settings.
Without Accessibility permissions, you cannot use the core Reels/Shorts blocking features. Please grant permissions manually by following the instructions within the app.
A social media platform with only Reels and short-form content removed. Regain your focus with Dopamine Shelter.
