Instagram, without reels.
Keep your DMs, posts, and connections.
Leave the doomscroll behind.
A typical day
Where your hours go.
Sixteen hours awake.
About three a day are actually yours.
The scroll takes close to three hours.
Most of your free time, gone.
How it works
Keep the connection. Lose the scroll.
You've deleted the app or used other screen time blockers before, and it's never stuck. Blocking the whole thing fails because we still want the connection of social media. snowscroll leaves the part that matters.
-
01
Open your apps inside snowscroll
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn are all available in one calm, focused browser. Sign in once and use them like you always have.
-
02
Silence the feeds that pull you in
Switch off Reels, Shorts, Explore, and the For You page. Flip any feed back on whenever you want, so it stays on your terms.
-
03
Keep the part you came for
Your DMs, search, your profile and posts, and the people you actually follow all stay, exactly as they are.
Private by design
It all runs in a browser on your device. snowscroll never sees your logins, your messages, or anything you do.
See your time come back
Trends show your daily average and the hours you've reclaimed, so the change is easy to watch.
Tune it to you
Set a daily limit, fade the apps to greyscale, and change any of it anytime. No streaks, no lock-in.

Why we built this
We made it for ourselves first.
We're a small, independent team that kept opening apps we didn't mean to. We wanted the messages and the people we follow, not the feeds built to keep us scrolling, so we made snowscroll to keep the connection and quietly remove the spiral.
Worth being clear about
Honest about how this works.
We never see your password
You sign in directly with Instagram or TikTok. Your login never passes through us.
It can feel a little slower
A browser isn't as instant as the app. That friction is intentional.
Leaving is always easy
No streaks, no guilt. Close it whenever; nothing here pulls you back.
Leave the spiral behind.
