Lyth: Block Reels & Shorts

Stop doomscrolling in the moment it starts. Lyth is an attention gate for Android that interrupts addictive feeds — Reels, Shorts, For You — without blocking the whole app.

Screen-time trackers show you the damage the next morning. Full app blockers get disabled within a week because they lock the apps you actually need. Lyth is different: it adds a 10-second pause the instant you cross your own limit, so you catch the scroll before it catches you.

WATCHES YOUR HABITS, NEVER YOUR CONTENT
Lyth is 100% local. It only knows which app is open and for how long. It never reads your messages, passwords, DMs, or anything on your screen. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account and no cloud.

BLOCK THE BRAINROT, NOT THE APP
Feed Guard removes only the infinite-scroll surfaces — YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Explore, X's For You feed, Reddit's front page — while search, messages, subscriptions and everything useful keep working. No more deleting whole apps just to escape the feed.

A PAUSE YOU CAN'T REFLEX PAST
When you hit your time limit, Lyth shows a full-screen gate with a real Start → Hold → Continue action. You can't tap through it on autopilot. Breathe for ten seconds, type why you opened the app, or just decide — consciously — whether to continue or quit.

WORKS IN THE MOMENT, NOT THE MORNING AFTER
Set Attention Modes for work, sleep, study or evenings. Choose which apps to protect — Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, browsers, games — set a time limit, and pick how strict the gate is, from a gentle reminder to a full block.

BUILD A FOCUS STREAK
Every conscious quit and completed pause grows your streak and forges focus artifacts — a reward system with no points to buy, only attention to protect. See how much time you've reclaimed, your calmest hours, and your weekly focus report.

WHO LYTH IS FOR
- You've tried Screen Time, deleting apps — and relapsed.
- You want a digital detox or digital minimalism habit that actually sticks.
- You need Instagram or Reddit for real reasons but lose hours to the feed.
- You want to reduce screen time and beat phone addiction without going offline.

ACCESSIBILITY API DISCLOSURE
Lyth uses Android's AccessibilityService API only for Feed Guard (optional, enabled with your explicit consent): it detects when a feed you chose to block, like Shorts or Reels, is on screen in your selected apps, and steers you out. It reads on-screen layout identifiers only — never your messages, passwords, or personal content — works entirely on-device, collects and shares nothing, and can be disabled anytime. The core blocker needs no such permission.

Guard your attention. Get back the hours the feed was taking.
