Block Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts inside the real apps — and keep the parts you actually need. Scroll Less is for people who use Instagram for work or DMs, but don't want Reels, Explore, or endless feeds eating the evening. Same idea on YouTube: keep search and normal videos; lose Shorts and the recommendation rabbit hole. Scroll less works both in native apps and on websites. WHAT IT BLOCKS • Instagram: Reels, home feed, Explore, and more • YouTube: Shorts, recommendations, comments and more • Reddit: Home, Popular and more WHAT STILL WORKS • Instagram: DMs, story replies, search, commenting on your own posts • YouTube: search, normal videos, mini player • You stay in the official Instagram and YouTube apps — not stuck in a browser-only workaround WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who needs messages, posting, and search — but wants the addictive feeds gone. Students, creators, and anyone tired of deleting apps just to get their evening back. Scroll Less also includes tools for intentional browsing and app blocking sessions when you want a harder break. Download Scroll Less and keep the useful parts of social media. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Block Reels, Shorts, home feeds, recommendations, and other algorithmic traps - while keeping messages, search, profiles, posting, and the people you actually care about. Scrolless works in Safari, not a fake in-app browser. No subscription. Pay once, own it forever. Social media is useful. Algorithmic feeds are the problem. Scrolless removes the parts designed to keep you scrolling while preserving the parts you actually want to use. -- Feed Blocker -- Block addictive feeds entirely: Reddit’s front page, YouTube home, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, Twitter/X timelines, and more. Open specific posts, videos, profiles, searches, and messages when you need them. -- Feed Cleaner -- Some feeds are worth keeping. Feed Cleaner removes suggested posts, sponsored posts, recommendations, and other algorithmic clutter so you see more of what you actually chose to follow. -- The 12-Hour Rule -- Any change that loosens your blocking takes 12 hours to activate. Make your limits when you’re clear-headed - not when you’re bored and trying to scroll. -- Privacy -- Scrolless is 100% tracker free. We don't collect any data about you or your browsing habits, all your data stays on-device. No tracking, no ads, no account, no subscription. -- Why Scrolless is different -- • Works in Safari with your normal tabs, history, and autofill • Keeps DMs, search, profiles, posting, and useful links • Works across Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and more • Custom rules for sites you choose • No account, no tracking, no ads, no data leaving your device • One-time unlock. No subscription.
