Store description excerpt

Unreel is a reels blocker with one job: bounce you out of the bottomless feed the moment it opens — while DMs, search, subscriptions and everything else keep working. Doomscrolling is not a willpower problem; the feed is engineered to win. So Unreel is a doomscrolling blocker that does the remembering for you. A calm block screen (sound already muted) catches the swipe and returns you to what you were doing — or turn on instant auto-back and it all happens invisibly. Stop scroll sessions at the door: you stop doomscrolling before the third clip, not after the hundredth. WHAT IT BLOCKS — one shorts and reels blocker, separate switches • YouTube: disable youtube shorts once — Unreel will hide shorts shelves on Home and bounce the player the moment a clip opens. Search, subscriptions and long videos stay put. • Instagram: disable instagram reels — player and tab — while stories, posts and search keep working. • Go wider: block Shorts and Reels together, and Unreel will hide reels and shorts previews across the two apps. WHAT IT NEVER TOUCHES: your messages. A doomscrolling blocker should stop the feed, not your friends — chats, group chats and the clips friends send you stay reachable and watchable, free, always. BUILT TO KEEP WORKING A reels and shorts blocker only earns its keep if it still works next month. Most die quietly: a permission drops, an app update changes a layout, and the feed is back before you notice. Unreel is the youtube shorts blocker that watches its own health — built to remove youtube shorts on the day an update tries to sneak them back. Service checks, a dead-service alarm, selector drift alerts, and a 20-second fix if Android ever pulls the plug. MODERATION, NOT SERMONS • Snooze 30s / 1m / 2m when you actually choose to watch; pause protection for 5 minutes. • Daily quota (Pro): "5 clips today, then done." • Schedule windows: stop shorts on weekdays, disable reels at work, or remove reels after midnight — one window free, unlimited with Pro. • Strict mode (Pro): a PIN plus 1-hour to 30-day locks you cannot sweet-talk mid-craving. Pro is one small one-time unlock — no subscription, no ads, no account. THE PAYOFF Stats show blocks today, minutes saved and your day streak — wasted hours turning back into evenings. That is what a reels blocker is actually for: reduce screen time without deleting anything. Remove youtube shorts but keep the subscriptions; stop reels but keep the people. Try it soft: disable shorts for a week and see what your thumb does with the silence — watching the minutes climb is one way to stop scroll cravings. CALL IT WHAT IT IS Doom scroll, brainrot, the spiral — whatever you call it, Unreel is built to stop brain rot at the source instead of asking you to try harder. It is an anti brainrot filter and a doom scroll blocker with no lectures attached: no shame, no sermons, just a door that closes. If Reels addiction is eating your evenings, the insta reel blocker side can taper you to five a day; whe
