What's New in Dull

1.8.8

July 8, 2026

- New: share to Dull. Send a link to "Dull" from any app's share sheet and it opens in the filtered browser, even if a browser is already open. - Instagram: Explore entry points are now blocked when the Explore filter is on. The bare Explore page no longer slips through. - Fixed: "edit blocked apps" refused changes while notifications were off. Editing your blocked list no longer needs notification permission. - Fixed: unticking every app in the blocked-apps picker silently did nothing. It now offers to turn Redirect off. - New: a heads-up when your selection includes whole categories, since a category blocks every app inside it, including ones you install later. - Fixed: editing blocked apps right after launch could fail with "screen time access wasn't granted" even though it was. - Polish: settings search now finds Redirect when you type "blocked" or "unblock", and error messages say what actually went wrong.

Great concept

Let me start off by saying that this app has helped me cut my screen time in half within the first week of using it. I was going on Instagram for upwards of 1.5 hours a day some days. Since downloading this app, I haven’t had a single day where my IG usage was over 10 minutes for the whole day. It works better than any other screen time app I’ve tried. So for that, it gets five stars. The reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the fact that, for some reason, it blocks other apps that I don’t want blocked. It blocks both LinkedIn and X which are two apps that I need for work. I don’t know if this is a glitch or not but I haven’t been able to figure out how to unblock them. Despite this, I’d still recommend using this app.

Response from developer

I am glad the Instagram filter is working for you. LinkedIn and X should not be blocked by default, so I will look into why that is happening and fix it. Please email hello@getdull.app so I can see how your settings are configured and get those apps unblocked for you.

So close to perfection

I’m rating this 5 stars instead of 4 because I see some 1 star reviews bringing this down more than I think it deserves. The only problems I have with this app (and the reason my rating is spiritually 4 stars) is the fact that opening my camera on instagram crashes the app and I cannot send any videos. I have to give credit where credit is due, though. This app does many things well, like the inclusion of Adblock for the YouTube player, the amount of customization available in the settings, and the clean UI (as well as plenty of other things I didn’t mention). As another reviewer said, please keep this alive!

I am working on a fix for the Instagram camera crash and the video sending issue. Please email hello@getdull.app so I can get more details on your specific setup to help resolve this. I plan to keep the app running and updated for a long time.

Waste of money

Can’t believe they make you pay for this, Sociallite is better and it’s free. Tried this to see if it could be a competitor to sociallite but definitely not.

Response from developer

Dull is a paid app because it requires constant updates to keep the filters working as social platforms change. The alternative you talked about requires payment to use the same featurea Dull provides. I understand if a free alternative is a better fit for you. I wish you the best.

Screen cut off

I see the issue with the cut-off screen. Email hello@getdull.app so I can get your device details and look into the layout bug.

Paid app

It’s paid but also it needs work

Response from developer

Half of this I can act on. Paid stays paid: the first week is a free trial, and it's a subscription because Instagram and YouTube change their sites constantly and keeping the filters working is ongoing work. 'Needs work' is the half I can fix, if you tell me what specifically broke or annoyed you: kaspar@getdull.app.
