I couldn't stop scrolling Instagram but I can't delete it — friends, group chats, event invites are all there. So I built Zen Social. It's an iOS app that opens Instagram in a filtered browser and removes the stuff that keeps you scrolling: Reels completely blocked Suggested posts replaced with fun facts and quotes Ads filtered out Messages, stories, your real feed all work normal My screen time dropped like crazy. The feed just runs out of content now because the algorithm stuff is gone.

Hey everyone! I'm Ivan, the solo dev behind Zen Social. I tried everything before building this — screen time limits, deleting the app, unfollowing accounts (Instagram still fills your feed with suggested stuff). Nothing worked because none of it changes what you actually see inside the app. Zen Social works differently. It opens the real Instagram website in a filtered browser and strips out the stuff that causes the scroll loop. Your account, messages, followers — everything stays the same. You just don't see reels, suggested posts, or ads anymore. One fun detail: instead of just hiding suggested posts, we replace them with fun facts, quotes, and language phrases in 9 languages. My girlfriend's idea — turns out it's pretty nice to learn that a hummingbird weighs less than a penny while checking Instagram. Free to try, would really appreciate any feedback!
