How to stop endless scrolling (without deleting your apps)
A practical order of operations for getting your evenings back, from cheapest to most effective.
1. Turn off notifications you did not ask for
Everything except messages from people. Five minutes, big payoff.
2. Move the apps off your home screen
Friction works. Put social apps in a folder on the last page.
3. Grayscale after 9pm
Colour is part of the pull. iOS: Accessibility, Display, Colour Filters. Android: Digital Wellbeing, Bedtime mode.
4. Remove the feeds, keep the apps
This is the one that actually sticks. Feedwise removes Reels, Shorts, Spotlight, For You, Explore and ads from the apps you use, and leaves DMs and the people you follow. There is nothing to scroll, so you stop.
5. Sleep mode
Feedwise Pro can pause every social app on a schedule. 22:00 to 07:00 is where most people get their evenings back.
Try it. It's free.
Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat without the feeds. DMs stay.
