Social media without doomscrolling

Doomscrolling is not your fault. The feeds are designed to keep you scrolling. SocialLite removes the addictive parts so you can use social media on your terms.

The short answer

SocialLite gives you access to your social media accounts without the infinite scroll feeds. It removes Reels, Shorts, Spotlight, and other algorithmic content loops across multiple platforms, leaving you with DMs, posts, profiles, and intentional browsing.

What changes and what stays

Removed

• Instagram Reels
• YouTube Shorts
• Snapchat Spotlight
• Algorithmic recommendations
• Infinite scroll feeds

Kept

• DMs and messages across platforms
• Posts from people you follow
• Profiles and stories
• Search and intentional browsing

How it works

Download SocialLite

Free on iOS and Android.

Open your social apps through SocialLite

Each platform loads in a focused view without short-form feeds.

Use social media intentionally

Check messages, browse posts, and close the app when you are done.

Why this matters

• The average person spends 2+ hours daily on social media, much of it doomscrolling.
• Short-form video feeds are engineered to be addictive using variable reward mechanics.
• Doomscrolling increases anxiety and reduces attention span over time.
• You don't need to quit social media. You just need to remove the trap.

Good to know

SocialLite works across multiple platforms but support varies. Instagram and YouTube have the most complete experience. Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn are in beta with varying levels of feature support.
