## What is LockedIn?

LockedIn helps you use Instagram and YouTube without getting pulled into short-form video feeds.

It permanently blocks:
- Instagram Reels
- YouTube Shorts

It also gives you simple control over a few reliable secondary surfaces, including:
- Instagram home feed and stories
- Instagram search and Explore
- Instagram DM video playback
- YouTube home recommendations
- YouTube subscriptions

LockedIn is built for people who want less distraction without fully cutting themselves off from the parts of these sites they still use.

Privacy is simple:
- No accounts
- No analytics
- No tracking
- No data collection
- No data sent off your device

Everything stays local on your device.
