## Description

Shortstop is a selective short-video blocker that hides Shorts and Reels inside apps—YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Snapchat Spotlight—so you keep messaging, posts, and long-form videos while cutting doomscrolling. Block short feeds without deleting apps and tailor boundaries with daily limits and focus sessions.

Why it works: short-form feeds fuel endless scrolling and distraction. Shortstop reduces that trigger, helping you stay focused and productive. It uses Android Accessibility Service to detect short feeds and apply your rules—no reading of messages and no personal data collected.
