About Dull: No Reels, No Shorts
Instagram without Reels. YouTube without Shorts. Facebook without short-form video. X without the For You feed. Reddit without the algorithm. Open a platform, and the infinite-scroll content is already gone. Posts, Stories, DMs, subscriptions — all still there. The addictive parts aren't. WHY DULL WORKS — Removes Reels, Shorts & short-form video — Kills algorithmic "For You" and "Explore" feeds — Daily time limits with hard gates — Quiet hours — social goes dark on your schedule — Friction gates — a speed bump before opening (57% fewer impulsive app opens*) — Grayscale mode — cuts ~38 minutes of daily screen time* — Usage tracking by platform ON YOUR TERMS No guilt pop-ups. No "you've been scrolling for 20 minutes." Dull strips out the stuff designed to keep you stuck — and gives you the tools to set your own rules. WHAT STAYS — Posts from people you follow — Stories and DMs — Channels and creators you subscribe to — Long-form videos you chose to watch — Everything you actually opened the app for LOCK IT IN (OPTIONAL) — Commitment delay: changes that loosen your filters take 24 hours to apply. Stops you from rage-disabling everything at 11pm. — PIN lock: put settings behind a PIN so you can't easily undo your own rules. — Both are opt-in. Dull doesn't tell you what to do. It just makes it easier to do what you already decided. 5 PLATFORMS Instagram · YouTube · Facebook · X · Reddit Each filtered independently. Choose what to remove per platform.
