Scrolless – Block Reels TikTok

DuarteBarbosa

About this app

End mindless scrolling on Reels, Shorts, and TikTok.

Scrolless is a free, open-source Android app that helps you reduce short-form video usage, regain focus, and take control of your screen time — without ads, tracking, or data collection.

HOW SCROLLESS WORKS
Scrolless uses Android’s Accessibility Service to detect when short-form video content such as Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or TikTok is opened.

When detected, Scrolless can block access, limit usage time, or show a live on-screen timer to help you stay aware and in control.

Scrolless does not record, store, or transmit screen content. All processing happens locally on your device.

PRIVACY & TRANSPARENCY
Accessibility permissions involve sensitive system access, so transparency is essential.

• 100% open source
• No ads
• No analytics
• No data collection

Ratings and reviews

It’s amazing, it doesn't work with YouTube revanced also there’s an app called DigiPaws that shows how many reels you’ve scrolled on the screen, which is really cool. I think that’s better than just showing screen time. If you can add something like that, it would be absolutely amazing.

It really helps putting a break on the constant dopamine injection that shorts and reels give. Even when I press one it automatically closes it and I get reminded that I should be avoiding shorts. Thanks.

best app ever i coudnt find an app that bkocks reels sccordibg to timer onky scrolles its the best , please dear developers add option to put password which i can give to someone else so that i cant change the settings
