Why FocusGram?
Most people don't want to delete Instagram entirely—they just want to stop wasting hours on Reels. FocusGram surgically removes the parts of Instagram designed for compulsive scrolling, while keeping your feed, stories, and DMs fully functional.
Key Benefits
- Mental Health: Stop the dopamine loop of endless autoplay videos.
- Productivity: Open Instagram to check a message or post a story, and get out in seconds.
- Privacy: No tracking, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. Your data stays on your device.
Master Your Usage
FocusGram doesn't just block Reels—it gives you tools to build better habits:
- ✅ Controlled Reel Sessions: Need to watch a Reel? Start a timed session (1 to 15 minutes). When the time is up, they're blocked again.
- ✅ Daily Limits: Set a maximum amount of Reel time per day.
- ✅ Habit-Building Cooldowns: Enforce a mandatory break between sessions to prevent bingeing.
