Description
Instagram without Reels. YouTube without Shorts. Facebook without short-form video. X without the For You feed. Reddit without the algorithm.
Open a platform, and the infinite-scroll content is already gone. Posts, Stories, DMs, subscriptions — all still there. The addictive parts aren't.
WHY DULL WORKS
Removes Reels, Shorts & short-form video
Kills algorithmic "For You" and "Explore" feeds
Daily time limits with hard gates
Quiet hours — social goes dark on your schedule
Friction gates — a speed bump before opening (57% fewer impulsive app opens*)
Grayscale mode — cuts ~38 minutes of daily screen time*
Usage tracking by platform
ON YOUR TERMS
No guilt pop-ups. No "you've been scrolling for 20 minutes." Dull strips out the stuff designed to keep you stuck — and gives you the tools to set your own rules.
WHAT STAYS
Posts from people you follow
Stories and DMs
Channels and creators you subscribe to
Long-form videos you chose to watch
Everything you actually opened the app for
LOCK IT IN (OPTIONAL)
Commitment delay: changes that loosen your filters take 24 hours to apply. Stops you from rage-disabling everything at 11pm.
PIN lock: put settings behind a PIN so you can't easily undo your own rules.
Both are opt-in. Dull doesn't tell you what to do. It just makes it easier to do what you already decided.
5 PLATFORMS
Instagram · YouTube · Facebook · X · Reddit
Each filtered independently. Choose what to remove per platform.
PRIVACY
No accounts. No browsing data leaves your device. The only third-party services are RevenueCat for subscription management and Apple's AdServices for anonymous ad attribution.
Social media on your terms.
