Take back your time without deleting social media.

Sociano blocks short-form content, endless feeds, and other scroll traps on supported social platforms inside its controlled browser—while keeping messages, search, and posting available. It also works as an app blocker and Screen Time companion, helping you block selected iPhone apps, schedule distraction-free time, set daily limits, and stay focused.

BLOCK DISTRACTING IPHONE APPS

Sociano uses Apple Screen Time controls to help you block selected apps across your iPhone.

• Choose which apps you want to block • Set daily app limits • Schedule distraction-free routines and downtime • Start focus sessions whenever you need to concentrate • Receive a warning before your daily limit runs out • Use Strict Mode to prevent changing your plan in the moment

OPEN SOCIAL MEDIA WITH A REASON

Add an intentional pause before a platform opens. Choose what you came to do, complete it, and leave without falling into another scrolling session.

UNDERSTAND YOUR SCREEN TIME

• See app usage synced with Apple Screen Time • Review time spent, app opens, and notifications • Discover which apps and times of day create the most distraction • Compare recent activity and follow your progress • Use weekly reviews, streaks, milestones, and gentle challenges

KEEP THE USEFUL PARTS

• Messages and conversations where supported • Search and intentional profile or community visits • Posting, replying, and normal account use • Your existing accounts and sessions

Sociano gives you a practical alternative to deleting social media completely. Block the distracting parts, control your app usage, and keep the features you actually need.

Some features require Sociano Pro.
