About
Infinite scroll isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed.
Slowth is the patch.
WHAT IT DOES
Slowth blocks short-form content across Safari on your iPhone and iPad.
Reels, Shorts, TikTok, and the rest of the algorithmic slot machines
disappear from the platforms you choose.
The rest of the internet stays exactly as it was.
WHAT YOU CAN BLOCK
- Instagram Reels — tab and feed
- YouTube Shorts — tab, feed, and suggestions
- TikTok — full or partial
- Facebook Reels
- X (Twitter) short videos
- LinkedIn short-form content
Toggle each one separately. Turn anything back on whenever you want.
You're in charge.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install Slowth.
2. Open Settings, pick what to mute.
3. Open Safari. The feeds you blocked are gone.
No account. No login. No cloud. Slowth runs entirely on your device.
WHY A SLOTH
Sloths are the slowest mammals on Earth. They move so slowly that
algae grows on their fur.
That's the opposite of what an algorithm is built to do. Which is
exactly the point. Meet Moss, our mascot. He's not in a hurry, and
he doesn't think you should be either.
WHO BUILT IT
One developer. Over a weekend. No venture capital, no growth team,
no A/B testing department.
Reels was built by hundreds of engineers. Slowth is the patch they
didn't want you to have.
YOUR ATTENTION IS THE PRODUCT
Every second you spend scrolling is a second sold to an advertiser.
The platforms aren't free — you're just paying in a currency that
isn't on your bank statement.
Slowth steps between you and the part of the app that's selling you.
PRIVACY
Slowth does not collect your data. We don't have analytics, tracking,
or servers. We can't see what you browse, what you block, or what
you do with your time.
We can't sell your data, even if we wanted to. We don't have any.
FREE FOREVER
Slowth is free. The whole thing. Every feature, on every device,
forever.
No subscription. No paywall. No "upgrade to unlock." No premium
tier hidden behind your favorite feature.
If something works, it works for everyone.

What's New in Slowth
0.3.0
April 29, 2026
What's new in 0.3.0 YouTube: • Reliable Shorts hiding on the home feed, in search results, on channel pages, and in the sidebar — fixes a CSS parser quirk that was silently dropping the entire rule. Instagram (new!): • Blocker overlay that breaks the infinite scroll on the home feed, Explore, the chained Reels feed, and Reels opened from DMs. • Stories: a soft "you've already burned X minutes here" reminder after a few story switches. Dismissable — but it comes back. Take a breath. Do something else.
