Dull: No Reels, No Shorts

Instagram without Reels. YouTube without Shorts. Facebook without short-form video. X without the For You feed.
Dull is a browser with a filter. Open a platform, and the infinite-scroll content is already gone. Posts, Stories, DMs, subscriptions — all still there. The addictive parts aren't.
Dull requires a subscription (Dull Pro) to use. A 3-day free trial is included. After the trial: $3.99/month or $14.99/year. A one-time Lifetime Access purchase ($59.99, non-renewing, valid for the lifetime of the Dull app/service) is also available. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings.

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
NOT A WELLNESS APP
No streaks. No guilt pop-ups. No "you've been scrolling for 20 minutes." No gamification. No parental controls. Just a browser that strips out the stuff designed to keep you stuck.
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.

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.

Dull doesn't tell you social media is bad. It just makes it less hard to put down.
