I wanted Instagram without Reels, so I built a little iPhone browser and put the code up

I built an iOS app to hide Reels because I still wanted Instagram for messages and posts. I even put in a timer for when I actually do want to scroll. Ten minutes, then Reels disappear again. I got it running on my phone and was getting it ready for the App Store. Then I got to the part where I had to answer: am I actually allowed to ship an app that changes how somebody else's service looks? I didn't have a good answer about platform permissions, so I shelved the App Store plan. Bit of a

AI 分析

痛点:用户想保留 Instagram 的消息和帖子功能,但想彻底屏蔽 Reels 短视频;现有客户端无法做到精细过滤,而且自己开发这类应用还会卡在平台授权和 App Store 审核上。

目标用户:因短视频成瘾而困扰、想保留社交功能并愿意自我约束的 iPhone 用户(数字健康、自律工具人群)

证据:I built an iOS app to hide Reels because I still wanted Instagram for messages and posts. I even put in a timer for when I actually do want to scroll. ... Then I got to the part where I had to answer: am I actually allowed to ship an app that changes how somebody else's service looks?

变现:订阅制数字健康工具(约 $2–5/月)或一次性买断;可作为多 App 通用过滤器(Instagram Reels、YouTube Shorts、TikTok)打包订阅,或结合 Screen Time API 卖「专注套餐」。

MVP:不要自建完整浏览器,改为在 2 周内做一个轻量方案:用 iOS Safari 扩展或 WebView 壳加 JS 注入,屏蔽 Reels、Shorts 信息流和推荐位,并加入「每天 10 分钟解锁」计时器;先以 TestFlight 验证留存,并规避直接复制他人 UI 的审核风险。

摘要:开发者做了一个隐藏 Instagram Reels 的 iOS 应用,并带有「刷 10 分钟后自动屏蔽」的计时器,但担心修改他人服务界面涉及平台权限与 App Store 审核风险,最终放弃上架,以 GPLv3 开源。帖子中没有任何付费用户、收入或他人附和的证据,说明需求真实存在,但商业化与合规路径均未验证,且数字健康赛道竞品密集。
