Você abre o Instagram só pra responder uma mensagem. Vinte minutos depois, ainda tá lá, rolando Reels sem lembrar como chegou ali. O Oloi resolve isso na raiz: ele bloqueia de verdade o Instagram e o YouTube nativos do seu iPhone (usando o Screen Time da Apple) e te dá acesso às versões SEM Reels e SEM Shorts , direto dentro do próprio app. Mensagens, posts, stories, busca e vídeos normais continuam funcionando. O scroll infinito que rouba seu tempo, não. COMO FUNCIONA • Bloqueia o Instagram e o YouTube de verdade no seu aparelho, pelo Screen Time da Apple • Abre as versões filtradas dos dois direto no Oloi — sem Reels, sem Shorts • Mensagens, posts, stories e busca continuam funcionando normalmente • Modo Postar: libera 5 minutos por dia pra postar sem abrir todo o resto • Bloqueia outros apps também (jogos, redes sociais) com limite diário de minutos • Modo Difícil: adiciona fricção pra desbloquear, pra você não voltar no impulso • Sequência de dias protegido, pra acompanhar seu progresso Grátis durante o período de lançamento — sem pegadinha, sem teste grátis que vira cobrança escondida. O Oloi não é mais um app de "bem-estar digital" que só mostra um gráfico de quanto tempo você perdeu. Ele impede o scroll de acontecer.
