Genuinely look no further.

This is PERFECT. I was looking for an app that blocked home and reels in insta but also wasn’t greedy enough to allow such limited efficiency. Definitely paying for a lifetime later on, the makers of the app genuinely puts trust first.

It’s like the early days!

This app is life-changing. Yes, it’s kinda slow. Yes, it’s not as smooth or seamless as the native app. But it makes Instagram feel like it felt when it first came out. OG Insta was clunky, just your friends, and kinda slow, but it wasn’t a dopamine overload like it is today. I highly recommend this app and have told multiple friends and family about it already.

This gave me my life back

I’ve tried other apps that completely lock me out of Instagram and they don’t work for me. I message people on there and I like to view stories, my main problem is how long I spend on reels, so being able to go on the app for messaging while not having access to reels, is awesome. I was so addicted to reels and now I’m not, the best 30 bucks I ever spent.

Best decision ever

This is by far the 2nd best choice I’ve ever made in my life (1st is committing to Jesus Christ), this app has single handedly change my life giving me my time back and really just letting me think again. No brain fog and doom scroll and jsut enjoying my life and not what is sold to us online. No addictive algorithms try to profit off my time. I will forever swear by this app and admit that “it really was just the damn phones” - now a free previously phone addicted Gen Z

Compliments + Ideas

I think this app works well for what is it set out to do. HOWEVER, when I go to Instagram, the user experience is very poor (e.g. slow typing, unable to easily reply or heart messages). So, when I am in a quick conversation with a group of people, I need to navigate back to the native app (and get exposed to reels once again). I think that if the user experience for Instagram (and other potential apps), then this would certainly help me cut out scrolling.

Other then that, I really like Scrollguard
