I kept opening Instagram to check a DM and losing 40 minutes to Reels. Deleting the app meant losing DMs and Stories. So I built a browser that loads the real mobile web versions with the short-form content already gone. It's an iOS app using WKWebView with three layers of filtering per platform: 1.

I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this.

# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Minimal Monochrome)

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #0b0b0e;
  --surface: #231715;
  --foreground: #fafaf7;
  --muted-foreground: #a5a1a3;
  --accent: #f4663e;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Space Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "Space Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #0B0B0E (~72%) · Surface #231715 (~16%) · Text #FAFAF7 (~5%) · Muted Text #A5A1A3 (~4%) · Accent #F4663E (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: 3D Render / Tactile Object
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and 3d render / tactile object visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
