Break the scroll loop on Instagram and YouTube Shorts Caught in an endless scroll? Unloop tracks your session on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts and introduces progressive friction before it becomes a doomscroll — without blocking the apps entirely. How it works Unloop counts reels and shorts as you watch them. As your session grows, it gradually increases resistance: a soft nudge early on, a blur overlay deeper in, and a cooldown lock once you've hit your limit. When the session ends, the slate resets. Features Real-time reel and short detection on Instagram and YouTube Soft overlay after your early threshold Blur and tab mute during deeper scrolling Cooldown lock after the session cap Live popup with session stats and thresholds Light, balanced, and focus modes for different tolerance levels Optional Unloop dashboard for tracking intervention history Why friction instead of blocking Hard blocks are easy to uninstall. Unloop stays out of your way until the moment it matters — then it slows you down just enough to make the next scroll a choice, not a reflex. Privacy Session data — reel count, time spent, mode, and cooldown state — is stored locally on your device using Chrome storage. Nothing is sent anywhere by default. If you connect the optional Unloop dashboard, the extension syncs limited event data (event type, value, and platform) with Unloop's API. No page content, video titles, URLs, or account identifiers are ever transmitted. Take back your attention — without quitting cold turkey. Version 2.1 Added optional Unloop dashboard connection. Once connected, the extension syncs limited intervention events — reel views, overlay displays, and lock triggers — to your Unloop dashboard so you can track patterns over time. Dashboard sync is opt-in. Nothing is sent until you connect from unloop.iamnaksh.tech. You can disconnect at any time from the same page. All existing local features — session tracking, friction overlays, cooldown lock, and mode switching — are unchanged.
