Description

SocialLite blocks shorts from Instagram, shorts from YouTube and other short form content from other platforms. It is the app for people who want to use social media without losing hours to endless scrolling.

We don't block social media entirely - that's not realistic. Instead, SocialLite surgically removes the most addictive features while keeping the parts you actually need.

WHAT GETS BLOCKED

Short-form video feeds designed to keep you scrolling
Algorithmic recommendations and suggested content
Explore and discovery pages
Live streams and shopping tabs
Ads and sponsored posts

WHAT YOU KEEP

Direct messages and conversations
Profiles you intentionally visit
Content friends send you directly
The ability to post and share

HOW IT WORKS

SocialLite provides a focused browsing experience for popular social platforms. Check your DMs without getting pulled into endless video feeds. Browse messages without algorithmic content hijacking your attention.

When you tap on a video someone sent you, you can watch that specific video - but you can't scroll to the next one. This simple guardrail is the difference between a 30-second check-in and a 30-minute spiral.

PRIVACY FIRST

SocialLite doesn't track anything related to your social media, we store your info on your device meaning it never touches our server so there is no possible account risk on our end. Additionally we do not sell any data, the only data we use is opt in, and its purely to see which ads you saw to use SocialLite, this helps us on our mission to bring this to as many people as possible. Privacy and Security is our priority and we are happy to answer any questions via dms, or email.

Your attention is yours.
