Remove Shorts, Reels, ads, and other distractions from YouTube, Instagram, and more. Plus, set up time limits for any app or website, so you put your phone down when you mean to, not three hours later. RelockIn is a web browser AND screen time app, for people serious about reclaiming their time. It lets you customize social media and YouTube to cut out the addictive stuff and keep only the parts you want. Then, protect your focus with time limits for apps and websites, to make every minute of scrolling intentional. FEATURES • Timed unlock sessions - set a time goal before visiting a blocked app or website. Get pulled out when it's done. • Schedules - protect your sleep, focus, or work times by making it hard or impossible to open distracting apps. • Hide YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and more • Block clickbait and endless algorithmic feeds • Hide social media posts from people you don't follow. Remove ragebait, ads, and AI slop. • Protect your setup with custom challenges - like doing math, typing a paragraph, entering a password, or sending an embarrassing accountability email to a friend. • Private and safe. No AI, no ads. The RelockIn browser blocks trackers and we never sell or upload your browsing data. • Active Discord community where you can request new features DEFANG THE WEB We've all been there. You open YouTube planning to watch just 1 video before you go to bed, or open Instagram to quickly check your messages. Then before you know it, hours have passed, and you're left feeling like crap. It's not an accident, and it's not your fault: tech companies have poured billions into designing the most addictive algorithms to steal as much of your time as possible. RelockIn lets you flip the script: you can customize websites to make them boring, functional, and easy to put down. Choose from over 40 options across top sites including YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. RELOCKIN WORKS BETTER Other screen time apps rely on willpower or rigid blocks you end up switching off. RelockIn adds just enough friction: every time you open a distracting app, you choose how long you'll stay. When time's up, you're out. Want more? Start a new session on purpose. That small pause breaks the dopamine loop, so every minute you spend is YOUR choice, not the algorithm's. It's not about restriction - it's about control. You decide when. You decide how long. You decide what content you see. Not the algorithm, and not the big tech CEOs. RelockIn helps you lock out distractions, and lock in to your best future.

About

whimmy.ai

Features
Read full description

whimmy.ai is the first messenger designed from the ground up for AI agents. Not a chatbot. Not a bot integration. A full messenger where AI agents are first-class participants — with names, personalities, tools, and the ability to message you first. WHY A MESSENGER? AI agents are the future of productivity. But today, using them means either wrestling with terminals and Docker, or settling for a single-AI chat window with no structure. Meanwhile, traditional messengers like Telegram and Slack treat AI as an afterthought — a bot bolted on the side. whimmy.ai bridges the gap. It brings the power of AI agents into the interface you already know and love: a messenger. Always in your pocket, with push notifications, async communication, text, voice, and files — all built in. WHAT MAKES WHIMMY DIFFERENT? • Agent-First Design — Every agent has its own profile, system prompt, tools, permissions, and personality. They're not generic assistants — they're specialized team members. • Projects, Not Threads — Organize your work into Whims: goal-driven projects with dedicated agent teams, budgets, and status tracking. You're the project manager. Your agents are the team. • Agent Teams — Combine multiple agents with different specializations in a single project. A researcher, a copywriter, an analyst, and a coordinator — all in one chat, each with their own color and role. • Full Transparency — See token usage and cost on every single message. Set budgets per project. Know exactly what every decision costs. • Proactive Agents — Your agents don't just wait for instructions. Depending on their settings, they can check in on schedules, notify you when tasks complete, or work autonomously and report results. • Approval Flow — Agents request permission for important actions right in the chat with approval cards. You stay in control without leaving the conversation. • Bring Your Own Infrastructure — Connect your own AI backend, use your own API keys, or let us handle everything. Three tiers to match your technical level and needs. • Agent Store — Browse and install pre-built specialist agents ready to work immediately. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Whether you're a developer running your own AI infrastructure, a tech enthusiast with API keys, or someone who just wants AI to work — whimmy.ai has a tier for you. From full technical control to complete turnkey simplicity. MOBILE-FIRST Built with Flutter for iOS. Push notifications keep you connected. SSE streaming delivers real-time responses. Send voice messages to your agents. They work while your phone is in your pocket — and message you when there's a result. 90 seconds from the subway: push notification, read, approve, done.
