ScrollBlock
Block Shorts & Reels. Keep the apps you actually enjoy
Most screen-time apps tell you to delete Instagram or YouTube. ScrollBlock takes a different approach: it removes *only* the addictive short-form feeds while leaving everything else untouched. That means it blocks YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and more. Track how many videos you avoided, screen time, unlocks, bypasses, and late-night usage. Built for people who want control, but not another digital detox.
Hey Product Hunt!!!
I’m Naresh, a CS student from India and the solo developer behind ScrollBlock.
I realized the problem wasn’t social media... it was the endless short-form feeds that would suck hours. I still wanted YouTube for tutorials and Instagram for messages, but I’d open the apps and lose an hour to Shorts or Reels.
So I built ScrollBlock.
Instead of blocking entire apps, it removes only the addictive parts while keeping everything else available.
Some features:
• Block Shorts, Reels and other short-form feeds
• Daily limits and focus modes
• Usage analytics (videos watched, bypasses, unlocks, screen time)
• No account required
• Privacy-first - all processing happens on your device
• Lifetime Premium option instead of another subscription
Since launching on Google Play, it’s already helping thousands of users reclaim their time, and I’ve been continuously improving it based on feedback.
If you have installed it, I’d love to hear:
-- What feature would make this indispensable for you?
-- Which platform should ScrollBlock support next?
Thanks for checking it out! I’ll be here all day answering every question!
Finally, something that gets it, blocking short feeds without nuking the apps I actually use still works for research. The late-night usage stat kinda called me out though.
