About this app

You didn't mean to lose another hour.

You picked up your phone for one thing. Forty minutes later you're still scrolling, feeling worse, and you don't even remember what you saw. Slow Your Scroll is the app you open instead.

It doesn't block anything. It gives you three seconds to choose.

Blockers fail because they fight you — you just tap "ignore." Slow Your Scroll works WITH you. It catches the reflex the moment it happens, asks what you were actually looking for, and hands you a two-minute thing that genuinely fixes it. The scroll loses its grip on its own.

The Pause Method — four steps:
1. Catch the reach. The moment your hand goes for the phone, you open Slow Your Scroll instead.
2. Name what you're really after. Bored, anxious, lonely, exhausted, avoiding something, or pure reflex.
3. Take the two-minute reset. A specific alternative matched to what you need — plus a calming guided breath if you're wired.
4. Log the catch. Every urge you catch is saved as a win, with your streak and the minutes you handed back to yourself.

What's inside:
- The Pause — one tap the second you catch yourself
- Six matched two-minute resets (bored, anxious, lonely, tired, avoidant, reflex)
- A four-minute guided breathing orb for when the urge is strongest
- An evening routine that gets the phone out of your bed
- Your Wins log: urges caught, day streak, minutes reclaimed
- Dark mode

Private by design: your catches, notes, and streaks stay on your own device. No accounts, nothing stored anywhere else.

You're not weak — you're up against apps engineered to keep you there. Slow Your Scroll evens the odds with one calm pause.
Catch yourself before the scroll eats another hour — one calm pause at a time.
