You open the app to answer one message and look up forty minutes later. SocialGuard opens Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, Reddit and Snapchat with the endless parts taken out — Reels, Shorts and recommendation feeds — and leaves the parts you actually came for.
On the App Store for iPhone & iPad and on Google Play for Android
Reels, Shorts and Spotlight are gone. If a friend sends you one video, you can watch that one — but there is no next one to swipe to.
Direct messages, stories and posts from people you follow work as usual. You sign in on each site's own page, as in a browser.
Optionally block the official apps on your phone, using Screen Time on iPhone, so the calm version is the only way in.
A daily limit across every platform, and a sleep window that covers them all at night.
No account, no server for your data, no analytics. Your logins go straight to each website; your settings and screen-time counts stay on your phone. Read the privacy policy →
