To achieve better focus, I made a social media feed blocker (IOS)

Hi everyone,

I found scrolling on social media and watching YouTube videos the biggest enemy to me focusing and executing on my side projects. However, I can't just delete them because they are super helpful in networking and learning. After some digging I found some apps/extensions that can block feed but none of them works on IOS devices. Therefore, I decided to pick up IOS development and made one myself.

The app is completely free with no ads. It currently only supports blocking of feed on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.

Unfortunately, the app does not block the feed on the native social apps, instead, it blocks the element on the web version of the apps. (which you can access using the shortcuts on the home screen)

Hopefully the app is helpful is anyone, it definitely helped me a lot. Also Let me know if you guys have any suggestions for improving the app!

Do you think it is helpful to block social media feed when trying to get things done?
