A Chrome extension that gives you one daily time budget across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Substack. The longer you scroll, the redder the page gets, until you can barely read it. Nothing gets blocked. You just can't pretend you're not scrolling anymore. Post something original on X and you earn minutes back: consuming burns your budget, creating refills it. Everything stays in your browser, no servers and no tracking. Free for 7 days, then $6.99 a year (one San Francisco latte).
There was a day in September that I read 1,148 posts on X (in one day). I know because I had a counter running, and I had bought a dumb phone (Balance Phone, you should check them out) to stop doomscrolling on mobile, so the habit just moved to my browser.
So I built doomscroll.fyi, you set a daily time budget across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Substack. The longer you scroll the redder the page gets, until you can barely read it. Nothing gets blocked but you become progressively aware of frying your brain. Blockers never worked for me (I would uninstall them by lunch). With this the idea is that you can't pretend you're not scrolling anymore.
Two little product details I like most:
1/ Post something original on X and you earn 5 minutes back (aka consuming burns Vs creating refills). 2/ Nothing leaves your browser (no servers, no analytics, and the only network call is the license check).
Free for 7 days, then $6.99 a year (one San Francisco latte).
