Imagine Instagram without reels, Youtube without shorts, social media without addicting feeds. snowscroll allows users to access all the "social" parts of social media (DMs, stories, posts, etc) without being trapped in the doomscrolling that takes our time, energy, and focus away. It currently supports Instagram, Youtube, X, Facebook, Linkedin, and TikTok.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jun, founder of snowscroll.
Why we built it:
Screen time apps don't work. They just don't. Trust me – this idea came from years of frustration. Every single time, I would download a screen time app in the morning, and find myself scrolling on Instagram at night.
They all have the same flaw: they take an all-or-nothing approach. Everyone wants to reduce their Instagram screen time, but not everyone wants to give up seeing their DMs and friends' posts.
What snowscroll is:
So, I decided to build an app that removes the addictive feeds (e.g reels from Instagram, shorts from YouTube) but keeps the parts of social media that you actually want. For example, on Instagram, you can still see stories, posts, use search, and do everything else except scroll on reels.
I've seen similar products as chrome extensions, but that's not where the "doomscrolling" audience is. People scroll on their phones, not on their laptops. snowscroll meets people where they actually are.
You have the option to further customize your experience by blocking stories, home feeds, ads, setting daily limits for each app, and seeing trends across your weekly usage (I've seen my own screen time go from 7 hours a day to 2!)
snowscroll is iOS first, core features free for all users, with a 7-day pro trial.
Privacy:
Privacy is absolutely core to the product. There is no snowscroll account, no tracking, no ads, no sale of data. All social logins and activity stays on your device. The only information that leaves is for RevenueCat. See https://snowscroll.com/privacy for an in-depth explanation!
We'd love feedback on:
whether it feels smooth enough
what other platforms you'd like to see added
what other features you'd want to see in the future
Interesting. As a marketer, I tend to spend a lot of time on Social Media apps for work and somehow I end up scrolling losing track of the purpose that I opened the app for. This seems like something that is made for me.
How do you handle login and security for all those platforms, do you use official APIs?
love that the core features are free. if we don't upgrade to pro, are the basic reels and shorts blocks locked on forever, or do they expire after the trial window?
What if I just access reels through the explore page. Did you guys make sure to close such loopholes into accessing reels?
