About this app

📵 Blocks only the short-form feed — not the whole app

Blocking all of YouTube means losing study videos too.
Block Shorts & Reels blocks only the dopamine-driven short-form feeds,
so you keep using each app normally — the distractions go, the app stays.

■ For you, if…
· "Just one Short" keeps turning into 30 lost minutes
· Doomscrolling is the default every time you unlock your phone
· A full app blocker was always too drastic to stick with
· You want your screen time down and your focus back

■ What gets blocked
· YouTube — Shorts
· Instagram — Reels
· TikTok — entire app
· Plus any app you choose to block entirely

Toggle each platform on and off individually. Apps you can't put down can be blocked entirely.

■ Highlights
· Two permissions and you're done. No complicated setup
· Entering a short-form screen shows a calm blocking screen with a quote about time
· Really need to watch? "Allow 5 min" gives you a short pass

■ How it works & your privacy
To block, the accessibility service only checks — in real time, on your device — whether the current screen is short-form video.
Screen content is never stored or sent anywhere, and no personal data is collected.
See our privacy policy for details.

Take back the time short-form video has been taking from you.
