StillTabs

Use the internet.
Don't let it use you.

An app that strips the addictive parts out of your favorite platforms — and leaves everything else untouched.

Launching Spring 2026 on iOS. Free early access.

We're not a company.
We're a few people who think
the internet should be better.

We got tired of platforms fighting for our attention instead of respecting it. So we're giving it back

You already know

Screen time limits and app blockers don't work.

You've tried them. Timers you dismiss. Apps you delete and re-download a day later. They punish you for using the internet instead of fixing what's actually wrong with it.

What StillTabs does

Removes the traps. Keeps everything else.

Infinite feeds, autoplay, Shorts shelves, Reels, algorithmic recommendations — stripped in real time. You still use the same platforms with the same login.

Not a cure. A filter.

No blocked apps. No countdown clocks.

No punishment. Just the internet with the manipulative parts surgically removed.

What stays

Your friends' posts. The video you searched for. Your DMs. Everything you actually came for.

You just stop getting pulled into a 45-minute hole you never chose.

How it works

Strips the parts designed to keep you stuck.

Infinite feeds, autoplay, Shorts, Reels, algorithmic recommendations — removed in real time. Everything you actually came for stays untouched.

Works with

YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, X, Threads, and Facebook.

Same platforms, same login, same content. Feels like the native app — just calmer.

Also on desktop

Browser extension for Chrome, Brave, Arc, and Edge.

Lightweight. No account needed. Everything runs locally.
