Browse Instagram without Reels. Read Reddit without the infinite feed. Use Facebook without Stories.
SEVEN NETWORKS SUPPORTED
• Instagram — Hide Reels, Stories, Explore and suggested posts. Messages Only mode goes straight to your DMs.
• Threads — Hide the home feed, feed tabs, follow suggestions, activity and replies. Read only the accounts you chose.
• Reddit — Hide infinite scroll, the Popular tab and endless recommendations. Browse without the rabbit hole.
• Facebook — Remove Reels, Stories, Watch and Marketplace noise. Keep Groups and Messenger.

NOT SUPPORTED: TIKTOK AND SNAPCHAT
Both appear in the network list, but neither can be switched on. Their web versions expose too little to filter usefully, so UNDOOMED marks them unavailable instead of pretending to help.

HOW IT WORKS
UNDOOMED opens each network's mobile web version inside its own private browser and filters what that page shows. No app modification, no jailbreak, no VPN, no risky permissions.
UNDOOMED does not modify third-party apps and is not affiliated with any social network.

UNDOOMED strips Instagram (and other apps) of everything wrong with social media and leaves just the features you need. I would have deleted Instagram a long time ago if it weren’t for group chats that I don’t want to be left out of, but every group chat check would inevitably lead to 15-30 minutes of scrolling. UNDOOMED removes the explore button entirely while still allowing access to the core features of the app, all completely for free. It’s a much better solution than any of the other glorified screen time control apps. Two notes:1) On Instagram, turning off suggestions currently turns off stories as well. It would be nice if this could be decoupled since I hate suggested posts but like seeing stories2) I hope this app can stay free for as long as possible, but I would certainly pay something modest for the core functionality
Developer Response
Thank you for the detailed review! Decoupling Stories from the suggestions toggle is a known limitation of the current filter that we still want to fix properly, not forgotten. Core features stay free for now, and we appreciate you rooting for that.
Exceptional!

The app is FANTASTIC! Listen up! This app blocks the reels and the addicting parts to Facebook and instagram. If you’re like me that continuously scrolls through reels, then you’ll definitely need this app. The app can be slow but tbh, I don’t mind it. I’d rather have a slight delay than the continuous scroll. I do have some recommendations… I would maybe recommend a way to have all the apps listed at the home page and kind of set it up where all the apps are listed and you click on the app you want to use. Also, I use the Facebook app for Facebook marketplace… the one downside is that for this app, I can’t send an offer to someone without redirecting me to download the Facebook app. Other than that, for a recent app, you did a great job! Please continue to update and work out the kicks. I plan to buy the pro version because of how much I love it.
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words and the suggestions! A home screen with all apps listed is a great idea. The Facebook Marketplace redirect is a limitation of the web version, but I'll see if there's a workaround. Appreciate you planning to go Pro — it really helps! 🙏
I hope this is it

I’ve tried so many different ways to stop my scrolling addiction, and this app is one of the first things that actually feels like it could work. It solves a real problem by letting people keep access to useful communication without getting pulled into endless feeds.The one major feature that would make it almost perfect is notifications. Since the value of the app is that it preserves access to contacts, not knowing when someone messages you removes an important part of online communication.That said, it’s clear the developer is putting serious work into this. If the app keeps improving, it could genuinely become something that changes people’s lives and helps them regain control over their attention. Just be careful — the tech giants might come after you.
Developer Response
Thank you, that's exactly the balance we're aiming for. Notifications are one of our most requested features and still on the list, no timing to promise yet but it's not forgotten.

Short form content is my kryptonite. I’ve been attempting to manage it for years but I can’t do it, but deleting everything altogether isn’t my top choice. I found this app via a Reddit comment and promptly found it’s everything I wanted: a way to get rid of short form video while still letting me access other parts of the app. And the price is so reasonable. My biggest fear is that this won’t get enough traction and shut down, so I’m writing this review to support!
Developer Response
Thank you for writing this, reviews like yours are exactly what keeps a small project like this going. We're not going anywhere.
