Slowth 0.5.0 — the first public release.
Slowth removes infinite-feed traps — YouTube Shorts, Instagram & Facebook
Reels — while keeping the rest of each site usable. Free, no accounts, no
tracking.
Highlights
- Instagram — block the endless Reels feed with the new Feed mode.
- Facebook — Reels, Watch and Video are now fully blocked.
- Improved hiding of short-video surfaces across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X.
- Updated remote blocking rules (CSS selectors + redirects, cached on-device).
Core features
- Hide Shorts / Reels on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X; block TikTok.
- Per-site tri-state: off / hide shorts only / block the whole site.
- Strict mode: a 24h lock you can't undo in a moment of weakness.
- Family Controls on iOS to block the native apps too.
