Dull: No Reels, No Shorts downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

recent stars not readable yet: new ratings are a tiny share of the total
Review momentum
61/100
faster than 69% of Productivity apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About Dull: No Reels, No Shorts
Instagram without Reels. YouTube without Shorts. Facebook without short-form video. X without the For You feed. Reddit without the algorithm.
Open a platform, and the infinite-scroll content is already gone. Posts, Stories, DMs, subscriptions — all still there. The addictive parts aren't.
WHY DULL WORKS
— Removes Reels, Shorts & short-form video
— Kills algorithmic "For You" and "Explore" feeds
— Daily time limits with hard gates
— Quiet hours — social goes dark on your schedule
— Friction gates — a speed bump before opening (57% fewer impulsive app opens*)
— Grayscale mode — cuts ~38 minutes of daily screen time*
— Usage tracking by platform
ON YOUR TERMS
No guilt pop-ups. No "you've been scrolling for 20 minutes." Dull strips out the stuff designed to keep you stuck — and gives you the tools to set your own rules.
WHAT STAYS
— Posts from people you follow
— Stories and DMs
— Channels and creators you subscribe to
— Long-form videos you chose to watch
— Everything you actually opened the app for
LOCK IT IN (OPTIONAL)
— Commitment delay: changes that loosen your filters take 24 hours to apply. Stops you from rage-disabling everything at 11pm.
— PIN lock: put settings behind a PIN so you can't easily undo your own rules.
— Both are opt-in. Dull doesn't tell you what to do. It just makes it easier to do what you already decided.
