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.

What's new (v1.8.3)
— Fixed (critical): tapping the shield bounce from a blocked native app sometimes landed on iOS's "Restricted" page inside Dull instead of the filtered platform (iOS 26). Apple's in-app web filter was holding the block a few hundred ms longer than the redirect's clear. Dull now waits for the system to release before opening the platform, with automatic retry as a backstop.
— Fixed: Redirect could get stuck on "paused" even after re-enabling Screen Time access in iOS Settings. iOS doesn't tell apps when that toggle flips back on, so Dull now asks iOS directly on every foreground.
— Fixed: tapping the shield bounce notification now lands you on the right platform inside Dull again, even when the shielded app's name contains a space (Instagram Lite, etc).
— Fixed: rare case where Hard Block could shield the in-app Instagram/YouTube feed itself if you'd selected the matching web domain from the picker. Redirect now never touches your in-app browsing — only the native apps.
— New: in-app explainer before iOS asks about ad attribution, so you know what the system dialog is for and that it's separate from the Screen Time access prompt.
— Clearer copy across all Redirect surfaces — the app now says "screen time access" everywhere, matching what iOS Settings labels it.
