BACKTOLIFE — USE SOCIAL MEDIA WITH CONTROL

Stop losing hours to Reels, Shorts, infinite feeds, and recommendations designed to keep you scrolling.

BackToLife helps you use Instagram, YouTube, and X more intentionally by removing the most addictive elements from each platform.

Important: BackToLife does not modify the official Instagram, YouTube, or X apps. It works by loading their web versions inside a controlled browsing environment, where you can apply filters to reduce distractions and regain control.

HOW IT WORKS

BackToLife opens social media platforms through their web versions inside the app.

From there, you can activate filters to hide sections like Reels, Shorts, Explore, For You, suggestions, comments, notifications, or autoplay.

This helps you open your social media to do what you actually intended to do, without falling into endless content.

Your apps. Your rules. Your time.

AVAILABLE FILTERS INSTAGRAM Hide Reels Hide Stories Hide likes and comments Hide Explore Hide suggestions DMs only mode Autoplay OFF Usage timer YOUTUBE Hide Shorts Hide comments Hide subscriptions Hide Home Usage timer X Hide Following Hide notifications Hide DMs Hide For You Hide Grok Usage timer STRICT SCHEDULE

Choose time blocks where your configuration stays locked.

For example: from 9:00 to 23:00 every day.

During that schedule, you cannot disable filters or change your restrictions. Outside the strict schedule, you regain full control of your settings.

It is designed to help you keep your limits when you need them most.

STREAK

Every day you complete your strict schedule adds one day to your streak.

If you break the schedule by disabling filters during locked hours, your streak resets to zero.

You can see your current streak and your record to track your progress in a simple, visual way.

Consistency builds the streak. The streak reflects your progress.

TIME METRICS

See how much time you spend using these platforms.

BackToLife shows daily, weekly, and monthly metrics so you can better understand your digital habits.

PRIVACY

BackToLife is designed with a privacy-first approach:

Minimal data collection Local storage whenever possible No ads No selling or sharing your data with third parties Anonymous analytics to improve the app START NOW

No complicated setup.

Download BackToLife, activate your filters, and start using social media with more intention.

Browse with control. Watch what you choose. Leave when you are done.

BackToLife helps you regain control of your digital environment.

Me encantó la idea, en lo personal me ha servido demasiado para bajar mi tiempo en pantalla! Logré bajar de las 6:30h a solo 4:30h al día, realmente increíble. Eso sí, aún falta pulir un par de cosas. Creo que la idea de que solo se pueda abrir desde widgets está tremendo, es lo que más me ha servido. Pero la forma en la que está distribuida la app, sus menús y su lógica es muy poco intuitiva al principio. Estaré esperando alguna actualización que cambie esto!!

A mi ni me sirve, cuando abro ig la app reinicia la web en bucle y nunca puedo acceder a ig

I think this app is a brilliant idea I am a developer and I know that due to software limitations, push notifications cannot work using instagram webviews like they do in this app when you open the widget Which really kills my idea of using it only as DMs to text my friends, their message notifications cannot show up Maybe if they implement a matrix server like Beeper it would work But why not using Beeper in the first place? Beeper doesn’t work very well though regarding notifications 2nd thing I want to mention is security Basically as you log into instagram using a webview, the developer of this application can update it to send your cookie credentials to his own servers in any time specially if he is using an OTA update which is not controlled by apple reviewers This application is a brilliant idea but the execution is not good It’s not the author /developers fault, but the software limitations, laws and closed Apple ecosystem… I also found some bugs using the app like I couldn’t go back to the webview and the ⚙️ button didn’t work sometimes
