Pasting the whole thing avoids the partial-edit mangling that corrupted your notes. 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". The parts you actually came for stay, like your messages, your search, and the people you follow. No willpower required. No deleting your accounts. 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 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. MAKE IT AUTOMATIC Turn on the shield and the actual Instagram app opens snowscroll instead. One setup, and the feed stays gone without you thinking about it. This uses Apple's Screen Time permission on your own device, for your own apps. WHAT YOU GET All six supported apps: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, TikTok and LinkedIn Reels, Shorts, Explore and For You removed on every one of them Deeper cuts where each platform allows: the home feed itself, Stories, recommended videos, comment sections, notification tabs and more Per-app daily limits: a gentle cap on your time in each app within snowscroll Trends: the time you got back, and what it was worth snowscroll is a paid app with no free version and no trial you are buying before you pay, and cancel any time in your App Store settings. PRIVACY, SPELLED OUT We cannot see your accounts, your DMs, or anything you do o snowscroll account and no password to give us. Whatleaves your device is your subscription status, so Pro works across your devices, anonymous product analytics that tell us which onboarding step people leave on, and a purchase event sent to Meta so worth running. No advertising identifier is collected andno tracking permission is requested. Never a URL, never an account, never anything you read or type. No ads. WHAT TO EXPECT, HONESTLY snowscroll is an independent app and isn't affiliated with platform. Because it's a focused browser, a few thingswork differently than the native apps. Notifications come from the platforms' own apps, not snowscroll. We keep a plain-language list of limitations on our site, because you should know what you'for it. Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Payple Account at confirmation. It renews unless cancelled atleast 24 hours before the period ends, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://snowscroll.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://snowscroll.com/privacy
