Tame short-form video: customize playback, hide distractions, and monitor your watch time across every platform. Shorty puts you back in control of short-form video. Block Shorts and Reels entirely, watch them without the addictive mechanics, or set a daily time budget — across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. WHAT SHORTY DOES • Hide Shorts everywhere — remove YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and TikTok videos from feeds, search, and navigation • Or keep them, minus the hooks — stop autoplay and endless looping, and hide like/share buttons, captions, usernames, and audio tracks so you watch the video, not the slot machine • Daily time budget — set a limit and Shorty warns you at 75%, 90%, and 100% of it, with a gentle banner or a full-page block. Snooze it when you genuinely need five more minutes. • Watch-time tracking — see how many short videos you watch and for how long • Per-platform rules — configure YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook independently PRIVATE BY DESIGN Shorty runs entirely in your browser. Watch statistics are stored on your device and settings sync only through your browser's own sync — no account, no external servers, no tracking, no ads. WHY Short-form feeds are engineered to keep you scrolling: autoplay, infinite swipe, variable rewards. Shorty removes those mechanics so that you decide when to stop. Also available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with Safari support and Screen Time integration.
