Keep your accounts in one place
Add multiple Instagram accounts to limitd, then switch between them. Each keeps its own settings for what to block and whether to send message alerts.
You use your saved accounts one at a time.
limitd is on iPhone today. Android coming soon.
Add and switch accounts
- On the home screen, tap Add account and sign in to the Instagram account you want to save.
- Tap it under Your accounts, the list of saved accounts, to open it. The sign-in guide explains these steps.
- Once you’ve saved more than one account, press and hold Profile in the bottom bar. Choose the account you want to switch to.
- If limitd asks about an unsent message, choose whether to leave it before switching.
You can also open Settings and tap its accounts button to return to Your accounts. Tap another account to open it.
What each account keeps
Each account has its own choices for:
- What Instagram content stays blocked.
- Which tab opens first, which tabs appear, and whether the bottom bar is hidden.
- Message alerts and vibration. Alerts need you to turn them on, allow them on your iPhone and finish setup for that account.
Focus Points are a daily allowance you spend to open something for a few minutes. All your accounts share it. Your Focus Level sets that allowance and how long you can unlock things for. Switching accounts doesn’t add points or give you another emergency unlock, the once-daily five-minute unlock that uses no points.
Your theme, startup account and choices for blocking other apps apply across limitd too.
Read how Focus Points work for the full rules.
Choose where an account opens
Open the account’s Settings. Under Starting tab, use Open on to choose its first tab. New accounts start on DMs, your direct messages. Accounts you’ve used before keep their saved choice.
Choose which account opens at startup
From the home screen, open App settings → Startup → Default account. Choose an account to open automatically when you launch limitd. Choose None to start at the account list instead.
The first account you add is chosen automatically. In an account’s actions menu, Set as default chooses it for startup. Remove as default stops it opening automatically and keeps the account saved.
Rename or remove an account
Press and hold its card on the home screen, or open its actions menu.
- Rename opens Rename account. Enter a name and tap Save. This only changes the name shown in limitd, not your Instagram username.
- Remove, then Remove account, removes it and its saved settings and sign-in details from limitd. Your Instagram account still exists. To add it back, sign in again.
If Turn off notifications first appears, connect to the internet and try removing it again. limitd needs to finish turning off its alerts.
Get alerts for the accounts you choose
Set up message alerts separately for each account.
The message notifications guide explains setup and what to check if alerts don’t arrive. Saved accounts stay on your device; they don’t sync between devices.
