LessLoop

Block Reels. Block Shorts. Hide the endless feed. LessLoop is a digital detox app that does not block anything you actually wanted.

It opens social platforms inside an internal browser and removes the parts built to keep you scrolling, before the page is even drawn. It does not block apps. It does not count your minutes. It does not make you feel guilty. You open the platform you need, find what you came for, and there is no escalator carrying you somewhere else.

BLOCK REELS, BLOCK SHORTS, HIDE THE FEED - FREE AND ALWAYS ON

- Instagram: block Reels and block Explore. Search, profiles, messages and the posts of people you follow all stay. A friend's reel is still watchable: it plays where it sits instead of opening the endless scrolling viewer.
- YouTube: block Shorts. Gone from home, from search, and from the navigation bar.
- X (Twitter): hide the "For you" feed and the recommended posts under Explore. Search, trends and notifications stay.
- TikTok: opens straight on direct messages, with no For You feed.
- Facebook: block the Reels tab.

LESSLOOP PRO - A DEEPER DIGITAL DETOX

- Instagram: block Stories, block the whole feed, or reduce Instagram to messages only.
- YouTube: search-only mode, with no home feed, no recommendations and no subscriptions.
- Facebook: hide the news feed, block Stories, or reduce Facebook to Marketplace only.
- Home screen shortcuts: an icon that opens a platform already filtered, without going through LessLoop.

A SCREEN TIME APP THAT DOES NOT MEASURE YOU

No statistics, no screen time counter, no charts of your usage. Most digital wellbeing and app blocker tools work by locking you out and showing you numbers. LessLoop takes the infinite scroll away and then gets out of the way, so social media stops being a slot machine and goes back to being a tool.

No account to create. No data collected. No advertising. Your sessions stay on your phone, as in any browser.

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD

LessLoop opens the mobile web versions of these platforms, not the native apps, so some app-only features may be missing. You sign in with your own account, as you would in any browser.

Filters work by recognising the structure of the platforms' pages, which they can change without notice. When that happens a filter can stop working until it is updated. Updates arrive without an app update, and reporting it from the Help section is the fastest way to get it fixed.

If you have been looking for a way to block Reels on Instagram, block Shorts on YouTube, stop doomscrolling, or take a real digital detox without deleting your accounts, that is exactly what LessLoop does.
