Stop the flood. Keep your time.
Dam It! kills the swipe inside YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. Tap a video, open a friend's link, watch it to the end - that all still works. You just can't swipe to the next one.
The feed
ends here.
The moment you swipe up inside Shorts, Reels or TikTok, the gesture never lands. The video you're on keeps playing. The next one never arrives.
One permission, then nothing
Grant Android's Accessibility Service once. No launcher to install, no home screen to replace, no daily check-in.
Watch what you want
Links from friends and videos you open on purpose still play fine. Only the infinite feed is gone.
The infinite feed
The swipe is intercepted before Android delivers it to the app. Nothing crashes, nothing looks broken - the feed simply stops moving.
What early users tell us
In onboarding, most people say they lose 1–2 hours a day to short-form feeds. These are self-reported figures from our own users, not measured results, and they're not a promise about your outcome.
Built to hold.
Four pillars of a stronger dam.
Blocks the gesture, not the app
Dam It! doesn't hide YouTube or lock you out of Instagram. It intercepts one thing: the vertical swipe that loads the next video. Everything else in the app works exactly as before.
Links from friends still open
Someone sends you a Reel. It opens, it plays, you watch it. The dam only holds back the feed you didn't choose.
Pause it when you mean to
Hold the dashboard button to pause protection. No lockout theatre, no waiting-room timer, no shame screen. You're an adult.
No account, no ad ID
There's nothing to sign up for. The advertising-ID permission is removed from the app entirely. Blocking logic runs on your device and reads no screen content.
On the way: usage insights and more apps. Included in your subscription when they ship - we won't charge twice for the same dam.
Up in 60 seconds.
Download
Install from Google Play. No account, no email, no sign-up form.
Enable Access
Grant one permission - Android's Accessibility Service - so the dam can see and block swipes inside YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
Keep Your Time
That's it. Dam It! runs quietly in the background. Watch videos on purpose. The feed stays dammed.
One dam. Two ways to pay for it.
Dam It! is a subscription. Start with a 7-day free trial - the app asks for nothing until the trial ends, and Google Play shows you the exact price in your own currency before you confirm.
- Full scroll blocking in YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and TikTok Lite
- Pause protection whenever you want
- Every future feature and every future app, included
- Cancel in two taps inside Google Play
- No account, no email, no advertising ID
Prices are set and shown by Google Play in your local currency. The trial converts automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends - the same as any Play subscription. Full detail in our Terms.
Bring a friend. Get 30 free days.
Every friend who subscribes through your link adds 30 free days to your own subscription. There's no cap and no tier ladder - five friends is five months. They get a 7-day free trial plus 20% off their first year.
Subscribe
Your invite link appears on the Dam It! dashboard as soon as your subscription is active.
Share your link
Send it to anyone. It's an ordinary dam-it.io link - it works from any messenger, and it opens the app directly if they already have it.
They subscribe, you get 30 days
The 30 free days land on your own subscription. No cap, no ladder to climb.
Your invite link lives on the Dam It! dashboard once you're subscribed. Rewards apply to conversions only, and we may reverse them for refunds or abuse - see Terms §3(f).
What we know about you.
It's a short list. Here it is in full.
No account, ever
No email, no password, no profile. There is no "your Dam It! account" because there is no account.
Advertising ID removed
The AD_ID permission is stripped from the app manifest. Play's Data Safety label says "No" and means it.
Blocking runs on your device
The Accessibility Service reads no screen content and transmits nothing. Gesture detection is on-device and transient.
Payments handled by Google Play
Billing, trials and cancellation all live in Play. We never see or store a card number.
What we do collect
Anonymous crash reports, aggregate feature counts, and a pseudonymous ID for referral rewards. That's the whole list - the detail is in our Privacy Policy.
