BackToLife Feed removes Reels, Shorts, For You and infinite scroll from Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X, plus ads on Instagram and YouTube. You keep your chats, your friends and the accounts you choose, without what's designed to hook you. Looking for an app to remove Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or TikTok's For You feed without deleting your social media? BackToLife Feed is built for exactly that. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT App blockers take away the whole app. BackToLife Feed only removes what hooks you: you open your social media, do what you meant to do and leave. HOW IT WORKS BackToLife Feed doesn't modify the official apps. It opens the web version of each network inside the app and applies the filters you choose. AVAILABLE FILTERS INSTAGRAM Hide the Reels tab (always on) Hide Reels in the feed Hide AI posts Hide stories Hide likes and comments Hide notifications Hide Explore Hide ads Hide suggestions DMs only Autoplay off YOUTUBE Hide Shorts (always on) Hide comments Hide ads Hide subscriptions Hide home TIKTOK Hide For You (always on) Hide notifications Messages only Search only Autoplay off X Hide Following Hide notifications Hide DMs Hide For You Hide Grok Autoplay off ON EVERY NETWORK Usage timer Unlock code Custom icon STRICT SCHEDULE Choose time blocks when your settings stay locked, for example from 9:00 to 23:00. During that time you can't turn the filters off. Outside it, you have full control again. STREAK Every day you keep your strict schedule adds one day to your streak. If you turn filters off during locked hours, it resets to zero. TIME METRICS See how much time you spend on each network: daily, weekly and monthly. ARE YOU A PARENT? Install BackToLife Feed on your child's phone and BackToLife Parent on yours. From your phone you choose which networks they get, the filters and the schedules, and they can't turn them off.

About

Become who you’re meant to be. Complete your daily tasks, prove them with a photo, and climb a ranked ladder that punishes you for slipping. The discipline app for men who are tired of streaks that mean nothing. Unlike generic habit trackers, this app makes you prove it. Most tasks are verified with a live camera photo - no camera roll, no ticking a box you didn’t earn. Hit the gym, take the photo. Read, take the photo. If it doesn’t check out, it doesn’t count. Every completed task earns ELO. Every miss loses it. At 5am your day is reconciled whether you opened the app or not, and your rank moves accordingly - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Obsidian, Master, Grandmaster, Champion. The higher you climb, the harder it gets to hold your place. No participation trophies. Key Features: Photo-verified daily tasks - prove it, don’t claim it Ranked ELO ladder across 10 tiers, from Bronze to Champion Lose ELO for missed days, reconciled at 5am automatically Lock Mode - block distracting apps for a focus session Emergency lock-in - try to open a blocked app and you’ll have to get past an AI coach that argues back Streaks with shields, so one bad day doesn’t erase months ELO graph, consistency heatmap and full stats on your profile 6 brain-training games - win one a day to earn 15 minutes of screen time back Crates and cosmetics earned by completing your day Community feed - post a Struggle, a Win, or a Question, and get replies from people doing the same thing Daily alarms per task, so the day starts on your terms Morning motivation built from what you actually did yesterday Custom tasks - build the routine you need, not the one an app decided for you I built Arc76 because every other habit app let me lie to it. Ticking a box at 11pm for a gym session I never did taught me nothing. Making myself take the photo changed everything - and losing rank for a wasted day made it stick. Discipline is the only thing that compounds. Start your journey. * FEATURES DESCRIBED ABOVE REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION * Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
