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.

Dam It! blocking a YouTube Shorts swipe - the overlay reads Scroll Blocked, Stay focused!

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.

Why the Accessibility Permission?

Dam It! needs Android's Accessibility Service to intercept swipe gestures inside YouTube, Instagram and TikTok - it's the standard, sanctioned mechanism for this. The service reads no screen content, records nothing, and sends nothing off your device; all gesture detection is on-device and transient. What the app does send (anonymous crash reports and aggregate usage counts, no advertising ID) is spelled out in the Privacy Policy.

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.

Monthly Annual - best value
  • 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
Start your free trial

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.

Good questions.

No. Dam It! only blocks the infinite scroll feed. Any video you open via a shared link, a notification, or by deliberately tapping a thumbnail plays perfectly. Only mindless swiping is stopped.

Dam It! is not a launcher. It uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when you are inside a short-form feed and intercepts the swipe gesture before it registers. No account, no email, no root access - there is nothing to sign up for.

Dam It! comes with a 7-day free trial. After that it's a monthly or annual subscription - Google Play shows you the price in your currency before you confirm, and you can cancel in two taps. There is no free tier beyond the trial; we'd rather charge you than sell your attention.

Dam It! is engineered to be extremely lightweight. The Accessibility Service is event-driven - it only wakes up when you open one of the supported apps - so real-world battery impact is negligible.

The Accessibility Service reads no screen content and sends nothing off your device. Separately, the app does send anonymous crash reports and aggregate usage counts (Firebase), and stores a pseudonymous subscription ID if you use a referral link. No advertising ID, no name, no email, no browsing data - the advertising-ID permission is removed from the app entirely. Full detail in our Privacy Policy.

Dam It! supports Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above. The app is available on the Google Play Store for all compatible Android devices.

YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and TikTok Lite. Nothing else is touched - your normal YouTube feed, DMs, stories and the rest of each app work exactly as before. More apps are on the roadmap.

Yes. Hold the button on the dashboard to pause protection. Dam It! isn't a punishment app - it removes the automatic pull, not your choice.

Build your dam today.

Stop wasting your evenings on a feed that never ends. It takes 60 seconds to set up - and the first week costs nothing.
