I built Sociano because I had a weird problem: I wanted to stop scrolling, but I didn’t want to delete social media completely. I still needed Instagram DMs, content friends sent me, posting, search, and some useful parts of the apps. But once I opened Instagram, I usually ended up in Reels. Most blockers felt too extreme: either block the whole app, or allow the whole app and hope I don’t scroll. So I built Sociano around a different idea: keep the useful parts, remove the loop. It opens social platforms in a controlled browser where you can remove things like Reels, Shorts, Explore, feeds, For You pages, Spotlight/Discover, etc. There’s also optional native iPhone app blocking using Apple Screen Time APIs. I’m an 18-year-old student and this is my first paid iOS app, so I’d genuinely love feedback from people who’ve struggled with the same problem.
