About this app

Have you ever found yourself watching short videos for an hour without realizing it?

Short Block is a digital detox app designed to rescue you from the "time thieves" of short videos on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms, helping you make better use of your time.

Instead of using AI to forcibly restrict functions, it employs an extremely simple and effective approach that supports your "voluntary will."

◆ Main Features
"Screen Dimming" Upon App Launch
When you launch a target social media app, the screen automatically dims. This "dimening" acts as a powerful brake, allowing you to snap back to reality before unconsciously starting to watch videos.

Developing the Habit of "Voluntary" Stopping
It's not a forced shutdown. By seeing the darkened screen and choosing to "close my phone now," you develop the self-control to break free from smartphone addiction.

Ultra-Simple Design Without AI
There is absolutely no complex AI-based monitoring or collection of personal information. Because it's an extremely simple mechanism—just dimming the screen—it operates smoothly, and anyone can start using it immediately. ◆ Recommended for:
Those who seriously want to stop mindlessly watching YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok.

Those who regret it every day because "just a little longer" turns into tens of minutes.

Those who want to dedicate the time currently stolen by their smartphone to studying, working, hobbies, or sleeping.

Those who find themselves unlocking their phone and looking at it even when using a forced lock app.

◆ How Short Block Transforms Your Daily Life
Creating "Me Time"
The time you used to waste each day will be transformed into meaningful time for your growth and relaxation.

Restoring Concentration
By preventing the "endless loop of short videos" that exhausts your brain, your concentration on work and studying will dramatically improve.

A Satisfying Sense of Accomplishment
The accumulation of small successes, such as "I put down my phone on my own," will lead to daily confidence.

Starting today, reclaim "your own time" free from smartphone control with 'Short Block'!
The screen goes dark when you open YouTube or TikTok. This app lets you stop mindlessly watching short videos and reclaim your valuable time.
