## What is yarrOS?

Social media without doomscrolling.

yarrOS is a small browser for Instagram, YouTube, and X that removes the parts designed to keep you scrolling, and keeps the parts you actually came for. Pick a site, give yourself a few minutes, and when time’s up, it tells you.

INSTAGRAM

• Your feed is the people you follow, newest first
• No Reels tab. Reels sent to you won’t roll on to the next one
• Explore keeps the search; the bait grid is removed

YOUTUBE

• Shorts are gone, including from search results
• No suggestion rail beside what you’re watching
• No autoplaying previews on the home screen

X

• Home is the Following tab, never “For You”
• No algorithmic short-form video. You won’t roll on to the next one

SESSIONS, NOT STREAKS

Before you open a site, you pick how long you’re staying. When time’s up, you get told.

The home screen shows today’s opens and minutes, so you can see your own patterns.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

No account, no server, nothing to sign up for.

Every session is written to a file inside the app and read back by the counters on the home screen.

You sign in to sites with your own accounts, the same way you would in any browser. Those logins live in the app’s own storage, separate from your other browsers, and deleting the app clears them.

You can erase your session history from inside the app at any time.
