Works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Snapchat links when public viewer paths are available.
Social media is addictive, because it's designed to be
- The infinite feed is meant to keep you scrolling long after you found what you came for.
- Recommendations are meant to keep another video, post, or reel waiting before you can leave.
- Comments are meant to hook your attention with arguments, reactions, and one more thing to check.
How it usually goes
You open social media... and lose 2 hours.
A friend sends a video. You tap it. Ten seconds later you're watching whatever came next, then whatever came after that. Uncuff cuts the feed away from the post you actually wanted.

My grades have improved since I downloaded Uncuff because I stopped watching hours of IG when I should be studying.
I don't know what I would do without this app!! Seriously, I don't feel so addicted to TikTok or Insta anymore!!!
It works better than I was expecting. I've definetly noticed I'm more productive and maybe even a little less grouchy ha!
So you can watch that funny cat video your mom sent you and nothing else.
Uncuff subscriptions unlock focused viewing and app blocking on iPhone, with saving and history available on higher tiers.
