You don't decide to lose an hour. You just open the app. Feedlock puts a wall in front of the apps that eat your evenings and a slow breath in front of the wall. Not a timer you'll ignore. Not a limit you'll tap past. A real stop. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick what pulls you in. Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, news whatever your thumb goes to without asking. 2. Feedlock shields them using Apple's own Screen Time lock. 3. When you reach for one anyway, you get a breath and a question: what are you actually here for? Most of the time, that's enough. You put the phone down. WHEN A BREATH ISN'T ENOUGH Strict Mode locks a block so that even you can't lift it early. Pick an hour, an evening, or until 7 AM, hold to confirm, and it's done. No settings menu to sneak into at 1 AM. That's the point. Schedules put it on rails sleep hours, work hours, every weekday so you stop having to decide. THE PART NOBODY ELSE DOES Name a friend as your witness. If you override a block, they're told. That's it. No lectures, no dashboards — just someone who knows. It turns out that being seen is the cheapest willpower there is, and it changes what you do at 1 AM more than any app ever will. They can send you a nudge back. You can drop them any time. WHAT YOU GET FREE - Block as many apps and sites as you want - The breathing gate before every one - 7 days of stats: what you dodged, and the time you got back FEEDLOCK PRO - Strict Mode blocks you can't lift early - Recurring schedules - Your accountability partner - Full history, trends and patterns - Adult-site filtering across the whole phone - Alternate app icons PRIVACY Feedlock can't see what you browse, and doesn't want to. Your quiz answers never leave your phone. There is no ad tracking, no advertising SDK, and no data sold ever. Sign in with Apple or an email address. Your blocks, streak, schedules and witness live on your account, so they follow you to a new phone. --- Feedlock Pro is available as a yearly subscription that renews until you cancel, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Unfeed opens Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X without the feed. Reels, For You, Explore and Shorts never load — messages, search, profiles and posting work exactly as you left them. Not hidden. Not muted. The filter decides what loads before anything reaches your screen, so the feed is never requested, never rendered, never there. WHAT NEVER LOADS • Instagram: Reels and Explore • TikTok: For You • YouTube: Shorts • X: For You • With Pro: ads, suggested posts and stories, if you choose WHAT STILL WORKS • Direct messages • Search and profiles • Following and subscriptions • Posting and your own page • With Pro: multiple accounts, each with its own login SESSIONS THAT END Set a session timer, a daily allowance, or a quiet check-in. When the time you chose is spent, an alarm rings and the window closes on its own — and the budget resets at midnight. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Activity shows your daily average, how this week compares to last, and one bar for every day. SLEEP MODE During the hours you set, every app in Unfeed rests too, with a morning buffer so the day doesn't start in a feed. LOCK THE REAL APPS Keep Instagram and TikTok installed and still get notifications — Apple's Screen Time blocks the open and points you back to Unfeed. Take a 5-minute posting pass when you need the real app, or arm Hard Mode and the lock holds until midnight. NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR There is no Unfeed account. You sign in on each app's own site; your passwords and everything you do there stay between you and them. We can't see it — that's the point. FREE AND PRO Free blocks Reels, For You, Explore and Shorts, and includes the Home Screen widget. Pro adds ad and suggested-post blocking, every filter, timers and daily limits, Sleep mode, the app lock, DMs only and Post mode, and multiple accounts, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Cancel anytime. Unfeed is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram, Meta, TikTok, ByteDance, YouTube, Google or X.
