App Description
Last year, I averaged ~2.5 hours a day on Instagram. That adds up to 38 days in a year. I went through all the classic moves: “Take a break” reminders (skipped them), screen time limits (snoozed them), deleted the app (hello browser Instagram 🤡).
Starting 2025, I decided to quit for good, but I wanted to make it fun. Apps like IG and TikTok are designed to keep us hooked with constant dopamine hits – so I figured, why not flip the script and make quitting just as gratifying?
I built uninstagram.com, which turns quitting into a game. It verifies you’re actually staying off, and rewards your streaks with cash.

Project Overview
Uninstagram is a unique platform designed to help users reduce their Instagram usage by turning the act of quitting into a rewarding game. It verifies users’ abstinence from Instagram and rewards streaks with cash, aiming to counteract the addictive design of social media platforms. The initiative stems from the creator’s personal struggle with excessive Instagram use and the desire to make quitting as engaging as the platforms themselves.
