Stop doom-scrolling. Start living.
Short-form video feeds are engineered to keep you scrolling. YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Snapchat Spotlight use algorithmic loops that exploit dopamine-driven reward cycles — averaging over 90 minutes of unplanned screen time per day.
Shortless gives you back the choice.
Unlike generic content blockers, Shortless targets only short-form video feeds. You keep full access to YouTube videos, Instagram photos, Snapchat messages, and everything else — we just remove the addictive infinite scroll.
CHOOSE WHAT TO BLOCK
Independent toggles for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Snapchat Spotlight. Block one, block all, or anything in between.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See how much time you've reclaimed with our Time Reclaimed dashboard. View daily, weekly, and monthly blocking trends with interactive charts. Build a scroll-free streak and watch it grow.
SET YOUR GOALS
During onboarding, tell us how much time you spend on short-form video. We'll calculate the impact and help you set a personal reduction goal — from 25% to full detox.
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Glanceable progress right on your home screen and lock screen. See your streak, daily blocks, and time reclaimed at a glance.
TWO LAYERS OF PROTECTION
• Content Blocker — Blocks short-form URLs and hides UI elements before they load
• Web Extension — Catches dynamically loaded content in single-page apps
PRIVACY FIRST
Shortless collects zero personal data. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. Everything runs on your device. We have no servers — there's nowhere for your data to go.
• Feel the urge to scroll? Tap "I feel like scrolling" for a quick, healthier alternative.
• Choose your accent colour: Classic Blue or Teal, in Settings. The widget matches.
• Clearer setup steps, easier-to-read text, and a refreshed app icon.
