FeedMinus: Block Reels&Shorts

Remove Reels and Shorts, keep your DMs and posts. The core hiding features are free.

The core hiding features are free.

You do not want to quit social media. You cannot. It is where the work, the messages and the audience are.

FeedMinus removes the feed, not the network. Your DMs and posting stay exactly as they are. Only the endless feed and the short-form video go.

WHAT GETS REMOVED

• Reels, Shorts and recommended video
• Algorithmic "suggested" posts
• Explore and discovery tabs
• Ads and ad-shaped posts

WHAT YOU KEEP

• Direct messages and conversations
• Notifications
• Profiles you go to on purpose
• Posting, and replying to your own posts (On some services, search is removed as well)

HOW IT WORKS

Open a service inside FeedMinus and it loads with the feed already gone. You can check a message without falling into a video stream.

Open a short video someone sent and FeedMinus stops you before the vertical stream, with a small banner at the top. That single guardrail is the difference between a 30-second check and a 30-minute spiral.

IT STOPS THE REAL APPS TOO

Grant Screen Time access and the apps you pick stop opening from your Home Screen. Tap one and FeedMinus opens instead. No more "I removed the feed, then opened the app anyway."

MAKE IT HARD TO UNDO

Locked Mode freezes turning blocking off, rule switches, and sleep and schedule changes. Getting out takes three steps (copy a passage, mental math, a 60-second wait) and a few minutes. The point is not difficulty. The point is distance between the impulse and the act.

FOR PEOPLE WHO POST FOR A LIVING

Posting and replying work inside FeedMinus, so you can publish and get out.

YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR PHONE

You sign in to each service on its own page. Your passwords never pass through FeedMinus. Which apps you chose to block is hidden by Apple, so FeedMinus cannot see it either.

Spend your attention on what you chose.
