Quick answer: If you want one page to start with, read the best social media blocker apps for iPhone. It lines up Screen Time, Opal, Freedom, Jomo, ClearSpace, one sec, ScreenZen and Stillfeed in one table. The pages below go one on one.
Start here
- Best social media blocker app for iPhone: the full field side by side, including the feed-removal apps Dull, Feather, Scrolless and SocialFocus, and which kind of tool suits which habit.
- Stillfeed vs Screen Time: Screen Time limits whole apps and lets you tap past the limit. Stillfeed removes specific feeds like Reels and Shorts. Using both works best.
- Stillfeed vs deleting Instagram: deleting stops the scrolling but costs you messages and friends, and the app often comes back.
Stillfeed vs other apps
Blockers, pause apps and physical locks all work on the whole app. Stillfeed works on the feed. One-on-one comparisons:
- Stillfeed vs Opal: blocking apps on a schedule, or opening them with the feed removed.
- Stillfeed vs Brick: a physical lock you tap, or a calmer feed.
- Stillfeed vs one sec: a pause before the app opens, or a feed you can't fall into.
- Stillfeed vs ScreenZen: delays and limits, or no endless feed.
- Stillfeed vs Freedom: blocking across all your devices, or removing only the endless feed.
- Stillfeed vs Jomo: gentle or strict app blocking, or removing the feed.
- Stillfeed vs ClearSpace: a pause before opening, or a feed that isn't there.

What Stillfeed does differently
Stillfeed is an in-app browser for iPhone. It opens Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn and Facebook as their real websites and hides the endless, recommended parts before they render. Messages, profiles, search and posts from people you follow stay. Removing the feeds is free from the first launch, with no account.
