Overview

Shorts Detox helps you take control of short-form content consumption on YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.

Short-form videos are designed to be addictive. Shorts Detox introduces intentional friction by limiting how much you can watch per day — without aggressive blocking or complex settings.

🔹 How it works:
• Shorts and Reels are blocked by default
• You can unlock access for 5 minutes at a time
• Maximum 3 unlocks per day
• A cooldown period enforces healthy breaks
• Full-screen block screen prevents accidental scrolling
• Audio is fully muted when content is blocked

🔹 Key Features:
✔ Daily time limit (15 minutes total)
✔ Smart cooldown system
✔ Smooth timer and progress bar overlay
✔ Live usage stats in popup
✔ Works seamlessly with modern SPA websites
✔ No reloads, no lag, no playback issues

🔹 Supported Platforms:
• YouTube Shorts
• Instagram Reels

🔹 Privacy First:
• No accounts required
• No tracking
• No analytics
• No external network requests
• All data is stored locally in your browser

Shorts Detox is designed to help you stay mindful — not to ban content entirely.
Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone who wants better digital discipline.
