Free on iOS and Android
You didn't open Instagram to lose an hour.
Feedwise is Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and five more with Reels, Shorts, Explore and the algorithm ripped out. Your friends stay. The scroll doesn't.
No account. Nothing leaves your phone. One minute to set up.
You've been here 0:00. That's about 0.0 Reels.
Sound familiar?
The apps are fine. The feed is the problem.
You opened it to reply to one message.
You closed it an hour later, having replied to nothing, and feeling worse than when you opened it.
Your Explore page knows you better than your mates do.
Every tap trains it. Every second you linger is logged. It is not a page, it is a slot machine with your face on it.
The feed is not for you. It is for advertisers.
Reels, Shorts, For You: they exist to keep you in the app long enough to show you another ad. That is the whole product.
You have tried deleting the app.
And you came back, because that is where your friends are. The problem was never the people. It was the parts built to hook you.
Everything they built to keep you there
Keep scrolling
Watch the algorithm leave.
This is an Instagram home feed. Every scroll removes one thing Feedwise hides. Only your friends are left.
That's the whole app now. Three friends. Nothing to scroll.
How it works
Same apps. Same login. None of the hooks.
Pick your apps
Choose which of the eight you want inside Feedwise. Most people start with Instagram and YouTube.
Log in like normal
Each app's own login page, inside Feedwise. Your session is stored on your phone by the system browser. We never see it.
The feed goes quiet
Reels, Shorts, Explore, ads and suggestions are hidden on your device. Turn any rule off any time.
What you get back
More control over your feed than the apps have ever given you.
Hide Reels, Shorts and Spotlight
The tab disappears. The shelf in your home feed disappears. The swipe-to-next disappears. A friend sends you one? It plays, once.
Sort out your Explore page
Explore, For You, Discover, Popular: gone. Instagram becomes the people you follow, in the order they posted.
Only your friends. Or only the internet.
Pick per app. Friends-only for Instagram, subscriptions-only for YouTube, the raw feed for Reddit. You decide what each app is for.
No ads. No "Suggested for you".
Sponsored posts, promoted accounts, people-you-may-know. Feedwise reads the label and removes the block.
DMs, profiles and posting stay
Everything that connects you to actual people keeps working. Post, reply, react, share.
Every rule is a toggle
Want Shorts back for a week? Flip it. Nothing is permanent and nothing needs an app update.
Sleep mode
Set a window when social apps simply won't open. 11pm to 7am and the feed is a locked door.
Nothing leaves your phone
You log in on each platform's own page. Your session lives on your device. Feedwise has no server that sees your accounts, ever.
Eight apps, one place
Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Reddit. Delete the originals if you like.
Eight apps
What goes, app by app.
Do the maths
Ninety minutes a day is twenty-three days a year.
Not doing anything. Not learning anything. Not talking to anyone. Just thumb, glass, next. Drag the slider to your number.

Simple maths: minutes × 365. See it in years of your life.
It feels slower.
That's the point.
Scrolling is the addiction, not just the content. Feedwise is built to be useful, not stimulating. In a couple of weeks you stop reaching for it out of habit, and only open it when there is someone to talk to.

Before you download
Questions people ask.
What is Feedwise?
Feedwise is an app that removes short-form video and algorithmic feeds from the social apps you already use. Reels from Instagram, Shorts from YouTube, Spotlight from Snapchat, plus For You feeds, Explore pages and ads on TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and Reddit. Your DMs, profiles and posting still work.
Is Feedwise free?
Yes. Blocking on every supported platform is free. Feedwise Pro adds sleep mode, multiple accounts and app lock. Feedwise Family adds parent controls.
How does Feedwise work?
Feedwise opens the web version of each platform inside the app and hides the distracting parts with on-device rules. It does not modify the apps installed on your phone, does not route your traffic through a server, and nothing is permanent. Turn any rule off any time.
How is my login handled?
You sign in on each platform's own login page, inside Feedwise. Your session is stored on your device by the system browser, exactly like Safari or Chrome would. Feedwise has no server that sees your username, password, messages, or what you look at.
Can I delete Instagram and YouTube and only use Feedwise?
That is exactly how it is designed to be used. A few things are limited in the web versions (some posting formats, some notifications). Most people find that a fair trade for never seeing a Reel again.
What if a friend sends me a Reel or a Short?
It opens and plays. You just cannot swipe to the next one. A shared YouTube Short plays as a normal video.
