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.

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.

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.

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
poohappy123poohappy123

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.

Doesn’t open links.

Doesn’t open links. Settings seem designed to discourage deleting Dull. Blocks WhatsApp without explanation or settings.

Response from developer

Three separate things here. Links: check that "open links in safari" is on in Dull's settings. With it off, taps on outside links get blocked instead of leaving the app. WhatsApp: Dull doesn't filter WhatsApp, so with that toggle on, WhatsApp links hand off to the real app. If you enabled Hard Block during setup and WhatsApp got caught in the app selection, you can edit that list in settings. Point taken that a blocked link should say why instead of doing nothing. The delete friction is the optional bypass protection, which only exists because it was switched on. If links still dead-end, email kaspar@getdull.app.

game changer

Thank you so much for running this app. Limited access to youtube & shorts in general reduced my screen time to 30% last week. Not consuming useless content online feels like freedom now

Response from developer

That kind of drop in one week is the whole point. Thanks for writing it up. If anything ever slips through the filters: kaspar@getdull.app.

functional

Clearly ai coded and hard to use 😭

"Hard to use" I can fix, if you tell me where you got stuck: kaspar@getdull.app. I genuinely want to know.

Whatsapp doesn’t work

liking the app but WhatsApp also gets redirected to instagram through it
rohit_sgrohit_sg

Response from developer

WhatsApp isn't one of the apps Dull filters, so a WhatsApp link tapped inside Instagram should hand you off to the real app. For that to work, "open links in safari" needs to be on in Dull's settings. With it off, the tap gets cancelled and you stay on Instagram, which is the redirect you're seeing. If it still misbehaves with the toggle on, email kaspar@getdull.app.

Great app, just a few suggestions

I love the concept. It’s actually something I’ve been looking for a while now. Only thing I would add is a section to filter who in your following list you want to see in your feed and stories bar. It could be something added in a patch! There are things that are still on my following feed that I don’t want to see, a filter to select who in your following list you want to see the most of would be perfect!!

Response from developer

A follow-list filter is a good idea and it's on the list now. Until then, muting an account on Instagram (from their profile) removes them from your feed and stories bar without unfollowing, which gets you most of the way there. Thanks for the suggestion.

Best App to Reduce Social Media Addiction

Brilliant app for reducing mindless scrolling without deleting your favorite social apps. Love the removal of Reels, Shorts, and algorithm feeds along with screen time limits and quiet hours. Perfect for staying focused, productive, and intentional with social media use.

Thanks. That's the pitch in one paragraph, glad it matches the experience.

Please Don’t Let This Die

This is a game-changer!! I was wasting hours of my life every day due to shorts harmfully injected in my previously innocuous app. The thing is, they are easy to quit unlike real drugs, no withdrawal symptoms. Just my time back thanks to this app.

Response from developer

Thank you so much, this really means a lot. That’s exactly why I built Dull: to make social media useful again without the endless Shorts/Reels trap. I’m working hard to keep improving it and I’m not letting it die. I use it myself every day and notice if anything breaks! Feel free to leave any feedback in the app as well if you notice anything. Really appreciate the support.
