Description

Keep YouTube. Lose only Shorts.
Keep Instagram. Lose only Reels.

BlockShorts blocks the short-form feeds that steal your evening, without deleting the apps you still need for tutorials, DMs, search, and long videos.

WHAT IT BLOCKS
• YouTube Shorts - the moment the feed opens
• Instagram Reels - the moment the feed opens
• Everything else in those apps stays usable

WHAT STAYS FREE
• YouTube Shorts + Instagram Reels blocking — free forever, no ads
• Optional daily allowance (give yourself 30 minutes, then the block holds)
• Math & typing Challenge Lock (make it harder to weaken protection)
• On-device stats and streaks

PREMIUM (OPTIONAL)
• Schedule blocking by hour and day
• Wait-timer challenge + BRUTAL math mode
• Extra apps (TikTok, Reddit, Facebook Reels, and more) as they ship — some labelled BETA while we harden them
• $2.99/month or $19.99/year with a 1-month free trial on yearly
• Cancel anytime in Google Play

WHY NOT “JUST DELETE THE APP”?
Most blockers ban the whole app. That’s blunt. You lose long-form YouTube, messages, and tools you actually use.
BlockShorts is surgical: only the addictive feed, the second it opens.

PRIVACY
• 100% on-device — no servers, no account, no cloud sync
• No analytics, no ads, no tracking
• Accessibility is used only to detect short-form feeds in apps you enable
• Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose Send feedback

HONEST LIMITS
• Home-feed Shorts preview thumbnails can still animate — YouTube controls that. Tapping into Shorts still gets blocked.
• Detectors can break when host apps redesign their UI. Report it in Settings; fixes ship fast (solo indie, no committee).

PERMISSIONS
• Accessibility (required) — reads on-screen content only for the apps you turn on, only to spot short-form feeds. Revoke anytime in Android Settings → Accessibility.

Built by an indie developer who got tired of “delete YouTube” as the only advice.

Try free. Keep the apps. Lose the Shorts.

Recent changes:
- Android 16 + Billing 8 policy update
