Supported Apps: YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and TikTok Lite
Dam It! works in four feeds: YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and TikTok Lite, on Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above. Nothing else is touched: your normal YouTube feed, Instagram DMs and stories, and the rest of each app work exactly as before. More apps are on the roadmap.

Questions people ask
Which Android version do I need?
Android 8.0 (Oreo) or newer.
Will new apps cost extra?
No. Every future feature and every future app is included in the subscription.
Can Dam It! block TikTok on Android?
It blocks the swipe to the next video in TikTok and TikTok Lite, so the For You feed stops moving. TikTok itself stays installed and usable, and videos you open from a link still play.
