I built Scrolletics because I couldn’t control my scrolling. I was averaging almost 4 hours a day.
I’d open Instagram for a minute and somehow it turned into 40. Same with TikTok.
I tried the native iOS screen limits. I’d just hit ignore every time.
So I thought, what if I didn’t block it. What if I had to earn it? At least then I wouldn’t feel guilty about it.
Now before I open social media, I have to do something physical. Push ups, squats, jumping jacks, or a quick plank.
It sounds small, but it changes the moment. I don’t reach for my phone the same way when I know I have to move first.
My screen time is under 2 hours now after a few weeks. And I can probably lower it more.
No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone.
I built it for myself. If you’re stuck in the scroll loop too, maybe it helps.
