ReelShield: No Internet Access

ReelShield helps you interrupt short-form scrolling on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook without sending your data anywhere. The unique feature of this app is that it is designed to have no internet access, cloud layer or account layer, and also no ads either. Therefore your data has absolutely no way of leaving, and you will not be bothered by ads.

Choose the style that fits your day:

- Gentle: soft reminders only
- Balanced: daily allowances with conscious choices
- Strong: automatic blocking or time extension choices

What ReelShield does:

- detects Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels
- gives you reminders, allowances, or strict limits depending on your selected mode
- tracks your progress locally on your phone
- helps you notice patterns without shame or streak resets

What ReelShield does not do:

- no internet access
- no account required
- no ads
- no analytics
- no cloud processing
- no screenshot capture

Accessibility disclosure:

ReelShield uses Android Accessibility access only to detect supported short-video screens and trigger the reminder or exit action you selected. All processing happens on-device and no screen content is sent off your phone.

Best for:

- reducing automatic scrolling
- creating gentler digital boundaries
- seeing your own usage patterns more clearly
- protecting attention without handing personal data to another service

Privacy-first by design:

- local device only
- no tracking SDKs
- no internet permission
- no background upload path

Purchase options:

- Annual: the eligible free-trial duration and localized annual price shown by Google Play; renews until cancelled in Google Play
- Lifetime: one-time purchase at the localized price shown by Google Play

Payments are processed by Google Play. ReelShield itself has no internet permission.
