Description

Hey all, I'm Jun.I've always struggled with my doomscrolling habit, and so I spent the last few months building an app to remove short-form, addicting content from all major social media platforms (Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, Linkedin, TikTok).The app has the option to further customize (removing home feeds, stories, other subtabs, etc).Launch Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ablpEFt74
