ScrollBuddy

You don’t have a willpower problem, these algorithms have gotten too good

ScrollBuddy ends the delete-reinstall cycle by adding friction that sticks: set it once, and your phone helps you follow through.

Why willpower fails
• Social apps are built to win the micro-battle every time.
• Deleting works for a week… then you reinstall “just to check.”
• Pure self-control burns out by evening.

How ScrollBuddy breaks the loop
• Schedules, not guilt: Pick windows (work, evenings, weekends) or a daily budget. When time’s up, a kind block screen appears.
• All your doomscroll apps together: Limit TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and more in one place.
• Micro-escape, not relapse: Short “take a break” timers replace the all-or-nothing binge.
• Buddy accountability (optional): Share a code with a partner or friend for gentle guardrails.
• Smart nudges: Warnings before you run out, high-five when you stay on plan.

Why it works
• Removes decision fatigue, your plan runs automatically.
• Adds friendly friction right when the urge hits.
• Turns a solo struggle into a shared commitment.

Privacy first
• Built on Apple Screen Time APIs, no VPNs, no creepy tracking.
• Your usage stays on device. No ads.
