Open straight to your Instagram messages with the feed, reels, and explore removed, so you can stay connected without scrolling
Konvo is Instagram with only the messages.
A paid Konvo subscription is required to access Instagram DMs through the app. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial.
Sign in with your Instagram account and Konvo opens straight to your inbox. The feed, Reels, and Explore never load. Your chats are exactly as you left them, and everything you send and receive shows up in Instagram like normal, because it is Instagram, just only the part you actually need.
WHAT KONVO DOES
- Opens directly to your Instagram inbox, every time
- No feed, no Reels, no Explore, anywhere in the app
- Your DMs, group chats, message requests, and story replies all work
- You sign in on instagram.com inside the app. Konvo never sees or stores your password
BLOCK THE REAL INSTAGRAM, IF YOU WANT
Connect Konvo to Screen Time and the Instagram app itself gets blocked behind a shield. Your messages stay one tap away in Konvo. You get two passes a day, one for five minutes and one for a single minute, to unlock Instagram for the things that need the real app: posting a story, a picture, or calling someone. When the pass ends, Instagram locks itself again. The block is optional and you can turn it off whenever you want.
WHAT KONVO DOES NOT DO:
Konvo does not read, store, or transmit your messages. It collects basic usage analytics, such as which setup screens are reached and whether features work, to improve the app.
Konvo requires an Instagram account. Konvo is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta.

So far seems like a good phase one of the app, if you can add the filtering for unread and unanswered messages like you can on Instagram, then this is a five star app and you've got yourself a new subscriber.
Worth The Money

People are complaining about how it’s a paid service. The dev for this app is a teenager and is spending hours of his free time making an app for a genuinely good purpose. I love this app because it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. And if you get the yearly subscription, it’s on 25 dollars a year. People are willing to pay 100 dollars a year for a streaming service, so I think cutting down your screen time and stopping doomscrolling while still being able to connect with your friends is worth the price
Developer Response
This!! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you love it! Its true, I spent over 100 hours building this product, it wasn’t easy!!
Payed subscription, really?
Greedy is the goat
I was so ready to finally get my screen time down when I got hit with a “start your 7 day free trial,”. All I can say is I’m disappointed. Why don’t you make something that genuinely helps people without payment? Why do people always look for profit.
Why must we pay? Don’t waste your money

Why make an app that could help everyone but you have to pay. You can’t do anything without paying, unbelievable!!!
This update includes bug fixes and performance enhancements to give you the best possible experience with Konvo. These changes ensure the app remains fast, stable, and completely reliable.
