💻 WHAT IS SLOW SOCIAL? 💻
|
|
Remember when logging on meant telling everyone in the house to GET OFF THE PHONE? When you had time to make a sandwich while a webpage loaded?
THOSE DAYS ARE BACK, BABY.
Slow Social detects every social media app on your iPhone, then to endure a full 1990s dial-up modem simulation before you can open any of them.
☎ Real modem sounds that bypass silent mode • 📈 A progress bar at 28.8 kbps • ❌ A configurable chance your connection just FAILS • 💫 Haptic feedback so you can feel the suffering
And then something unexpected happened: people started using it to actually reduce their screen time. So we leaned into it.

Description |
| 📡 Modem Sounds |
Real dial-up audio. Bypasses silent mode. Your coworkers will love you. |
| ⏱ The Wait |
27+ seconds of dial-up torture. Per app. Every time. |
| 🧠 Mindful Mode |
Daily limits, operating hours, cool-down timers. Accidentally useful. |
| 📱 Shortcuts + Widget |
Replace your real app icons. Track your habits. Ask Siri to dial up Instagram. |
| 🎨 Full Win95 UI |
Beveled buttons, navy title bars, TX/RX LEDs, haptic feedback. So much gray. |
| 🎨 Desktop Themes |
Windows 95, Vintage Mac, or CRT Monitor. Pick your decade of suffering. |
|
🧠 WAIT, THIS IS ACTUALLY USEFUL? 🧠
|
|
People kept telling us the forced wait made them reconsider opening TikTok for the 47th time. So we added Mindful Mode — real screen time tools disguised as ISP restrictions. "Your ISP has suspended service for today."
| ISP Setting |
What It Does |
| 📞 Daily Limits |

🎨 CHOOSE YOUR DESKTOP THEME 🎨
|
|
Because one flavor of retro wasn't enough.
| 💻 Windows 95 |
|
Beveled borders. Navy title bars. Teal desktop. The gray you remember.
|
|
| 🍏 Vintage Mac |
|
Pinstripe title bars. Close box. Zoom box. Drop shadow. Think different, dial slower.
|
|
| > CRT Monitor |
|
Green phosphor. Terminal glow. Hacker vibes. You are the chosen one, Neo.
