Open Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, or Reddit through CherryBrew. The feed that's built to keep you scrolling is simply gone. Everything you actually came for stays.

The 11pm spiral
You meant to check one thing. Forty minutes later you're deep in a stranger's life, it's past midnight, and you're more tired than when you started. The feed never hits a bottom, so you never hit stop. Open the same app through CherryBrew and there's nothing to fall into — you see what you came for and you're out, with the night still yours.
The people, not the algorithm
You didn't install these apps for the algorithm. You installed them for the people — the DMs, the group chat, the friends you actually follow. But you open one to reply and the For You feed swallows the next hour. CherryBrew lands you on your people and nothing else: answer the message, check the group, and the machine wrapped around them is just gone.
The time, made visible
The hour you didn't lose doesn't just vanish. Every time you stop early, a bud on your screen blooms into a leaf; over a week you can see how much you took back. Not another screen to feel guilty about — just "you put it down twenty minutes early tonight."
Feed removal is the default — nothing to set up. When you want more, it’s there. You choose.

CherryBrew isn’t a blocker — it never locks you out, and removing the feed needs no setup or willpower. You open Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, or Reddit through CherryBrew, and the algorithmic surface — the part built to hold your attention — simply isn’t rendered. Everything else is untouched: your messages, your search, the people you deliberately chose. The apps go back to being tools you use, instead of a slot machine that uses you.
Questions
Is CherryBrew a blocker?
No. It never locks you out. You open your apps through it; only the algorithmic feed is gone — everything else works.
Will I still get my DMs and messages?
Yes. DMs, search, the people and communities you follow, your profile, posting — all untouched. Only the feed surfaces (Reels, Shorts, For You, Explore, r/popular) are removed.
Which apps does it work with?
Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, Reddit, and TikTok.
Does it read my messages or what I do in the apps?
No. The optional App Guard only detects when an app opens — it never reads your feed, messages, or typing, and it's off until you turn it on.
Do I need to root my phone?
No root, no setup. Install, open a platform through CherryBrew, and the feed is already gone.
Is this just another screen-time timer?
No. Feed removal is always-on by default with nothing to schedule. A daily budget, Quiet Hours, and a pause before you open are optional extras — only if you want more friction.
What about TikTok?
Yes. CherryBrew works with TikTok alongside Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, and Reddit.
