Keep the connection. Lose the scroll. snowscroll is a calm, focused browser for your social apps. It loads the sites you already use and quietly removes the endless feeds: Reels, Shorts, Explore, "For You".

You just stop seeing the surfaces designed to keep you scrolling. HOW IT WORKS snowscroll opens each platform's mobile site in a focused in-app browser and hides the addictive feed surfaces on your device. You log in with your own account, exactly as you would in Safari. Your logins, messages, and activity stay on your device and never reach us.

After 7 days you keep the free version (Reels and Shorts stay gone) and you can upgrade anytime if you want the rest back. PRIVACY, SPELLED OUT We can't see your accounts, your DMs, or anything you do on these sites. The only thing we receive is your subscription status, so Pro works across your devices. No ads. No tracking. Ever. WHAT TO EXPECT, HONESTLY snowscroll is an independent app and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any social platform. Because it's a focused browser, a few things work differently than the native apps. For example, notifications come from the platforms' apps, not snowscroll. We keep a plain-language list of limitations on our site, because you should know what you're getting before you pay for it. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://snowscroll.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://snowscroll.com/privacy
