About Apollo: Block Reels & Shorts
Use Instagram and YouTube without Reels, Shorts or the endless feed. Keep your DMs, stories and friends, and get your evenings back. Join 11,000+ people who scroll less with Apollo. "My screen time went from 5–6 hours a day down to 1 hour 30 minutes–2 hours a day. Apollo has really helped me get my life back together." — Daniel BLOCK SCROLLING. KEEP SOCIAL MEDIA. Deleting the apps never lasts: you miss your messages, your friends and the things you actually use them for. Apollo keeps all of that and removes only the parts built to keep you scrolling. • No Reels. No Shorts. No For You. • Your DMs, stories and friends stay. • Search still works, so you find what you came for and leave. • Videos friends send still play. Swipe, and you're back in the chat. WHAT APOLLO REMOVES • Instagram: Reels, the home feed and the Explore grid. Stories and DMs stay. • YouTube: Shorts, the home feed and autoplaying "Up next". Search and your subscriptions stay. • TikTok: the For You page and Discover. Search and profiles stay. • X: the For You timeline and Explore. • Threads, Facebook, Reddit and LinkedIn: the endless home feed. You choose exactly what to hide, app by app, with simple switches. LOCK THE REAL APPS (OPTIONAL) Lock the real apps with Screen Time, one app at a time. A locked app sends you to Apollo instead, so you always land on the version without the feed. WIDGETS Put Apollo on your Home Screen or Lock Screen and open any app straight into Apollo with one tap. APOLLO PRO Unlock every app with a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings.
