ScrollCut — Reels & Shorts Limiter

Limit daily time on Instagram Reels & YouTube Shorts. Set your limit, get blocked when you hit it. Free. No account needed.

ScrollCut helps you take back control of your time by limiting how long you spend on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts every day. Set a daily time limit (5 to 120 minutes). ScrollCut tracks your usage silently in the background. When you hit your limit, a full-screen blocker appears — showing how much time you've used and your own personal reminder of why you set the limit.

Everything (your limit, usage time, personal reminder) is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. Nothing is ever sent to any server. No analytics. No tracking. Perfect for students, founders, creators, and anyone who wants to scroll less and build more.
