## What is Loyt?

Loyt blocks the endless short-form feeds that steal your time, while keeping the parts you actually use. 

Quitting cold turkey doesn't work. You delete the apps, last three days, and reinstall them. Loyt takes a different approach: it surgically removes the most addictive features and leaves the genuinely useful ones alone. You stay connected. You just stop disappearing into the feed for hours.

BLOCK: 

Reels, Shorts, etc., "suggested for you" content, Explore page, Live Streams

KEEP:

Messages, Profile search, posting/sharing 

OR (if you want to use the apps with all those features, especially if you post content often + edit inside the apps):
Set BLOCKING RULES: Block the apps for specific times every day.


HOW IT WORKS:

Loyt is a dopamine reset for your phone. The constant overstimulation is removed, the urge to reach for your phone quiets down, and your attention comes back.

PRIVACY FIRST:

Loyt doesn't track your browsing, collect your data, or sell anything to advertisers. What you do on your phone stays on your phone. 

Take back your time. Download Loyt today.
