Keep the good, block the bad. #blockit removes Shorts, Reels and endless feeds from popular websites on Safari, and leaves everything else exactly where it was. No account. No built-in browser to log into. Nothing sent to any server, ever. And a 7 day free trial to see the difference yourself. No VC funding or growth team here. #blockit is built by one indie developer, and has been quietly maintained since 2020 as the sites keep changing. WHAT GETS BLOCKED • Shorts, Reels and short-form feeds • Endless home feeds and suggested content • Explore pages, related videos, comments if you want • Entire websites by URL Your call, per site, with simple switches. WHAT YOU KEEP • Everything else • Search, messages, and notifications • The profiles and pages you actually meant to visit All in your normal Safari, logged in as yourself, with nothing sitting in between. WORKS ON • YouTube.com: block Shorts, home recommendations, related videos, comments, end screens, even the subscriptions feed • Instagram.com: block Reels, Stories, Explore, suggested posts, or the whole feed • Facebook.com: block the news feed, Stories, Reels, Marketplace, and Groups • Reddit.com: block the home feed, subreddit feeds, or comments • X.com: block For You, Following, Explore, even notifications • LinkedIn.com: block the home feed PRIVATE BY DESIGN #blockit is a pure Safari content blocker, a technology Apple designed so it cannot read or transmit anything from the pages you visit.

ONE SUBSCRIPTION, EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad and Mac, with iCloud sync keeping every setting and blocked site in step. Set it up once, covered everywhere. NOTE #blockit uses Apple Safari Content Blocker technology, and can only remove certain parts of certain websites you browse via the Safari app. Take back your attention.

Big tech spends billions to hijack your attention. Void gives you the power to fight back. We get it, phones are addictive. Bright colors, endless notifications, and curated feeds keep us hooked. We tried it all: "dumb phones" (missed the music and maps), screen time limits (too easy to bypass), even leaving our phones in another room (until we ran back for a call and got sucked in again). Nothing stuck. So we built Void, a physical device that locks away the apps dragging you down, breaking the cycle of mindless scrolling and handing you the "key" to take control. The Void app pairs with your NFC-powered Void device. One tap blocks distracting apps and silences notifications, leaving only the tools you choose. When you’re ready, tap the Void to unlock. It’s a simple, permanent solution to reclaim your focus and live intentionally in a world designed to keep you distracted. Benefits: Take Charge: Turn your phone into a tool you control, not one controlling you. End Scrolling: Stop doomscrolling and reclaim over 1 hour (on average) daily. Break Addiction: Replace bad habits with new ones. Escape Noise: Silence notifications and be more present. Focus: Get to flow state and stay there. Key Features: One-Tap Blocking: With a single Tap, lock away social media, games, websites or any app that steals your time. Your Rules: Customise which apps and websites to block, keep the essentials, ditch the rest. Freedom from Distraction: Silence the noise and give your attention to what matters most. Track Your Wins: See how much time you’re saving with in-app insights, track how much time you're getting back. Privacy Guaranteed: Your screen-time data never leaves your phone. We’re here to empower, not spy. Void isn’t just an app—it’s a movement. Born from our own battles with distraction, it’s the breakthrough tool we wish we’d had sooner. Take back control with Void. Private and secure: Void uses Apple’s Screen Time API, ensuring your screen time and personal browsing data stay private on your device.
