## What is Scrolless?

Block Reels, Shorts, home feeds, recommendations, and other algorithmic traps - while keeping messages, search, profiles, posting, and the people you actually care about. Scrolless works in Safari, not a fake in-app browser. No subscription. Pay once, own it forever.

Social media is useful. Algorithmic feeds are the problem. Scrolless removes the parts designed to keep you scrolling while preserving the parts you actually want to use.

-- Feed Blocker --
Block addictive feeds entirely: Reddit’s front page, YouTube home, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, Twitter/X timelines, and more. Open specific posts, videos, profiles, searches, and messages when you need them.

-- Feed Cleaner --
Some feeds are worth keeping. Feed Cleaner removes suggested posts, sponsored posts, recommendations, and other algorithmic clutter so you see more of what you actually chose to follow.

-- The 12-Hour Rule --
Any change that loosens your blocking takes 12 hours to activate. Make your limits when you’re clear-headed - not when you’re bored and trying to scroll.

-- Privacy --
Scrolless is 100% tracker free. We don't collect any data about you or your browsing habits, all your data stays on-device. No tracking, no ads, no account, no subscription.

-- Why Scrolless is different --
• Works in Safari with your normal tabs, history, and autofill
• Keeps DMs, search, profiles, posting, and useful links
• Works across Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and more
• Custom rules for sites you choose
• No account, no tracking, no ads, no data leaving your device
• One-time unlock. No subscription.

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Was Looking For

*2026-07-18*

Does exactly what it says it does. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — super helpful and worth it

*2026-06-27*

this app is great, i can only imagine how much time its saved me by keeping me from getting distracted and the peace of mind gained by doomscrolling a lot less. the safari-only thing will be a deal breaker for people but honestly using safari over apps isnt super hard to get used to, and affords you the luxury of adblock and other useful extensions

### 5/5 — jc thank you

*2026-06-22*

finally a blocker with teeth! 🙏

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-06-07*

I like this UX better than blocking domains since you never need to turn it off if you need to look up something specific such as a recipe or how to preform a household task

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-05-11*

This app is great because it allows you basic access to social media without risk of “doom scrolling”. This allows me to be connected without feeling like I’m missing out. I really like the feed scrubbing, which gets rid of ads. Overall I would highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Super useful app!

*2026-02-19*

This app helped me get hours of my week back! I love watching reels and TikTok’s but found myself spending way too much time on my phone. Scrolless helped me get over my reels addiction while also still allowing me to stay connected with friends on social media sites.
