Gentle
Allow a limited run of Reels before NoLoop checks in.
Use Instagram without getting sucked in.
NoLoop interrupts Instagram's endless loops in Safari, so checking one thing doesn't turn into 30 minutes of scrolling.

NoLoop creates a calm boundary and a choice to continue or stop
Instagram can be useful. The automatic continuation is the problem.
NoLoop changes how Instagram behaves so you can keep practical access while restoring a stopping cue before a visit becomes automatic scrolling.
Choose how protected you want to be.
Gentle, Strict, Nuclear, and Reflection give you different ways to interrupt Instagram's most habit-forming surfaces without blocking everything.
Strict
Block Reels while preserving useful browser access.
Nuclear
Block both posts and Reels when you want the strongest guardrail.
Reflection
Ask for a brief intentional pause after posts and every five Reels.
See the posts you chose to follow.
Following only opens Instagram's home posts in the Following feed, so you only view posts from accounts you follow.
Check in with friends, keep up with creators you chose, and reduce the accidental scrolling that can begin with a recommended post.
Start with your choices
Open Instagram to posts from accounts you intentionally follow.
Keep check-ins focused
Catch up with friends and creators without starting in an open-ended stream of recommendations.
