Study without the Reel rabbit hole.
You open YouTube for a ten-minute physics lecture and look up two hours later. Brainrot closes the Shorts and Reels feeds while your lectures, notes and study-group chats stay exactly as they are.
Block the feed, keep the tools.
Students need their phones: for lectures, group chats, doubt-clearing and flashcards. A blunt app lock doesn't survive the first group-project message.
Study messages stay open.
Reply to your project partners on Instagram or Snapchat. Only the Reels and Spotlight feeds are limited.
Full-length videos untouched.
Watch a two-hour organic chemistry or coding lecture with no timer. Only Shorts count toward your limit.
Schedule your study hours.
Set a recurring focus session for 6–9pm. Distracting apps are blocked, Phone and Messages stay on.
A study-week setup that holds.
Takes about three minutes.
Shorts & Reels to 0
In Individual mode, set Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat to 0 for exam week. Add a small allowance back afterwards.
Schedule study blocks
Create a focus session for each study window, e.g. weekdays 6–9pm and Sunday 10am–1pm.
Pick your essentials
Keep Phone, Messages and your note-taking or lecture app available. Everything else waits.
