You open social media to answer one message. Forty minutes later, you're still scrolling Reels. limitd puts you back in charge. It opens social media with the addictive parts switched off — the endless Feed, Reels, Stories, and Explore — while keeping the parts you actually came for: your DMs, real posts, and profiles. No willpower needed. No deleting the app. No going cold turkey. Just social media without the rabbit hole. limitd supports Instagram today, with more platforms on the way. HOW IT WORKS - Blocks the distractions by default. Feed, Reels, Stories and Explore are hidden the moment you open the app. - Keeps what matters. Messages, individual posts, and profile grids stay fully usable, so you never miss the people you care about. - Unlock on purpose, not on autopilot. Want to scroll? Spend Focus Points for a timed 5- or 15-minute window. When the timer runs out, the feed closes itself. SET YOUR OWN LIMITS Pick a daily Focus Level and limitd holds the line for you: - Intentional — a generous budget for lighter days - Balanced — a healthy middle ground - Focused — for real deep-work days - Locked In — minimal distractions - Monk Mode — near-total silence Every unlock costs points, so you always feel the trade-off — and think twice before diving in. BLOCK OTHER APPS TOO limitd isn't just for one app. Use built-in Screen Time blocking to shield other distracting apps across your whole phone. Opening a blocked app spends points too, so your attention stays where you want it.
