About this app

Stop doomscrolling without deleting your apps

Horizon helps you block Reels, Shorts, and addictive short videos so you can stop scrolling endlessly — without blocking the apps you actually use.

If you’re tired of opening Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok for something useful and losing hours to endless scrolling, Horizon helps you take back control.
It removes the short-video loops designed to hijack your attention, while keeping messages, posts, search, and long videos accessible.

Whether your goal is to reduce screen time, regain focus, study better, or break doomscrolling habits, Horizon makes it easier to stay intentional — without relying on willpower.

🚫 Block Reels & Shorts — not the entire app

Unlike traditional app blockers, Horizon is selective.

Horizon blocks:

Instagram Reels

YouTube Shorts

TikTok short videos

Snapchat Spotlight

Any infinite vertical feed that triggers compulsive scrolling

You keep full access to:
✓ messaging
✓ posts & stories
✓ long-form videos
✓ search & useful features

No more deleting apps.
No more “just one video” turning into an hour of scrolling.

⏱️ Smart ways to reduce screen time

Everyone uses their phone differently. Horizon adapts to your routine.

• Daily Limit

Set a shared daily limit for all Shorts & Reels.
Once the limit is reached, Horizon automatically blocks short videos across all selected apps.

• Scheduled Focus Sessions

Block short videos only during specific moments:

work sessions

study time

mornings

evenings

before bed

Perfect for deep work, studying, or winding down without distractions.

• Full Block Mode

Disable all short videos permanently across selected apps if you want a clean break from scrolling.

Setup takes less than a minute.

🧠 Why blocking short videos actually works

Short-form videos are designed to keep you scrolling:

• infinite feeds
• rapid dopamine hits
• zero stopping cues

This makes self-control difficult, even when you know you should stop.

Horizon works because it removes the trigger, not the app.

By blocking short videos, Horizon helps you:

• stop doomscrolling naturally
• reduce screen time without frustration
• improve attention span
• stay focused longer
• increase productivity
• feel less mentally drained

You stay connected — without falling into endless scrolling loops.

• lose hours scrolling on Reels or Shorts
• open one video and end up scrolling endlessly
• procrastinate before studying or working

• feel distracted, unfocused, or mentally overloaded

If “just stopping” worked, you wouldn’t need an app.
Horizon removes the temptation so you can focus on what matters.
