FeedOff: Block Reels & Shorts

Instagram without the Reels. YouTube without the Shorts. X without For You. Free.

FeedOff opens Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit and LinkedIn in a calmer browser with the parts built to keep you scrolling hidden: Reels, Shorts, Explore, For You, suggested posts, ads and autoplay. Your DMs, stories, profiles, search, subscriptions and posting all keep working. It's the real site, with less of it.

THE CALM BROWSER
• Instagram: no Reels tab, no Explore, no suggested posts, no ads. Home feed of people you follow, stories, DMs, profiles and posting stay. Optional: hide AI-labelled posts, hide reposts, or hide the whole feed and keep only stories.
• YouTube: opens on your Subscriptions. No Shorts, no Home recommendations, no autoplay-next, no video ads. Search, watch, history and playlists stay.
• X: opens on Following. No For You, no trends, no promoted posts.
• Reddit: your communities, no Home or Popular feed, no ads, no "Open App" prompts.
• LinkedIn: messages, notifications and jobs, no feed.
• Every one of these is a toggle. Want Explore back? Flip it.
• Grayscale per app, if colour is what pulls you in.

THE SHIELD
• Block the real apps on a schedule, or always. They open to a calm block screen that points back to FeedOff. Works for TikTok and any other app too.
• Built on Apple's Screen Time, so it's reliable and private: FeedOff never sees which apps you pick or how long you use them.
• Notifications from the real apps still arrive, so you never miss a message.
• Someone sent you a link? Copy it and open FeedOff: the post opens here, without the feed.

WIDGETS
• Each platform as a Home Screen and Lock Screen widget. Put them where the real icons used to be. One tap, no feed.
• Control Center buttons and Siri shortcuts too.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up. You log in to each site directly, in Apple's standard web view. FeedOff never sees your password.
• Everything stays on your phone. No analytics, no tracking, no server.
• The only thing FeedOff downloads is a small public file of filter rules, so fixes reach you without waiting for an app update. Read it on GitHub.

FREE
No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. The paid apps in this category charge monthly for app blocking and ad hiding. FeedOff includes both.

FeedOff is an independent app. It isn't made by or connected to Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit or LinkedIn.

Made for people who want their evenings back.
