Scrolless – Block Reels Shorts

DuarteBarbosa

About this app

No ads. No tracking. Fully open source.

Scrolless helps you cut down on short videos in TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels and Snapchat, while the rest of each app keeps working. Spend less time on endless feeds, stay focused and take back your screen time, with no account needed.

Choose how you block
• Block All: closes short-video feeds as soon as they open.
• Daily Limit: set how much time you get each day.
• Interval Timer: alternate breaks and watch time, for example up to 5 minutes every hour.
• Pause: turn blocking off for a few minutes; it comes back on by itself.

Keep what matters
• Allow videos friends send you in DMs.
• Choose whether Stories count towards your limits.
• See a small live timer while you watch.

Understand your habits
• Daily timeline of every session, by app.
• Averages for each day of the week.
• Browse past days to spot patterns.

Supported apps
TikTok, TikTok Lite, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, Facebook Lite and Snapchat.

Private by design
Scrolless has no ads, analytics or tracking, and needs no account. Your usage history stays on your phone, and the code is open for anyone to check.

Accessibility permission
Scrolless uses Accessibility only to detect supported short-video screens and apply your blocking rules. It does not record, store or send your screen content. Everything happens on your device.

Reduce mindless scrolling, one scroll less at a time.

Ratings and reviews

I would love an option to also block the Instagram explore page, but otherwise this app is perfect. I spend less than a minute looking at short form content most days, if any time at all.

insane, unbelievable, i recomnd to install for anyone reads after leaving this review must install it to save your precious time, it works 100% nor like other apps gives ads and asks for money, but this app gives you 100% value for free, work 110% and on facebook tiktok insta youtube for sure and maybe elsewhere test upon your needs.

Fantastic- the app is the size of a file and performs EXACTLY what its supposed to for free, no ads and from what I've seen no impact on your battery either. Amazing work man for this app 🙌
