How ScrollFree Works: Your Instagram, Simplified
If you’ve ever caught yourself endlessly scrolling Instagram, losing track of time and forgetting why you even opened the app—ScrollFree is here to help. But not by locking you out or blocking Instagram entirely. Instead, it gives you a lean, focused Instagram experience that only lets you do two things: check Stories and send Direct Messages.
Curious how we pull off this digital magic? Let’s dive in.
ScrollFree starts by loading Instagram just like normal—right inside a webview embedded in the app. This means you get the real Instagram experience, not some watered-down clone. But here’s the twist: you’re browsing Instagram inside ScrollFree, which is watching closely.
Once the Instagram page fully loads inside the webview, ScrollFree prepares to make its move. It waits until everything is visible—your feed, stories, buttons—ready to go.
Timing matters, because Instagram’s content can load dynamically, and ScrollFree needs to act only once everything is in place.
Now comes the clever part: ScrollFree injects a custom JavaScript script into the page.
This script is like a strict but fair gatekeeper. It removes all the parts of Instagram you don’t need—like the main feed, explore tabs, endless posts, and distracting menus. What’s left standing? Only Stories at the top and your Direct Messages.
By cutting away the noise, ScrollFree stops you from falling into the scroll hole and helps you focus on what really matters: catching up with friends through Stories or quick chats in DMs.
With the clutter gone, you get to enjoy Instagram the way it was meant to be: simple, fast, and purposeful.
No more infinite feed scrolling. Just Stories to watch and conversations to have.
With ScrollFree, you control your Instagram time without missing out on the social connection. It’s not about cutting Instagram out; it’s about cutting Instagram down to what truly counts.
