About this app

Are you really in control of your screen time?

Most people think they scroll for a few minutes. ScrollTrace shows you the truth.

ScrollTrace is a doomscroll tracking app designed to help users monitor scrolling behavior, reduce social media addiction, track screen time, detect reel addiction, and build healthier digital habits.


🔍 WHAT SCROLLTRACE DOES
✦ Tracks time spent on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts separately
✦ Shows your peak scroll hours and daily usage patterns
✦ Sends smart alerts when you exceed your screen time limits
✦ Delivers weekly and monthly usage reports
✦ Runs passively in the background — no manual logging needed
✦ Lightweight, battery-friendly, and privacy-focused



📊 WHY SHORT-FORM VIDEO IS DIFFERENT
Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts are engineered to keep you scrolling. Unlike regular apps, there's no natural stopping point. ScrollTrace is the only tracker built around this specific behavior — giving you data that generic screen time apps miss entirely.



🧠 BUILD BETTER DIGITAL HABITS
✦ Set daily scroll limits for Reels and Shorts
✦ See which days you scroll the most
✦ Spot triggers — times and moods that lead to overuse
✦ Track your progress week over week
✦ Take the 7-Day Scroll Detox Challenge built into the app


🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
ScrollTrace uses Android's Accessibility Service only to detect app usage time. No content is read. No data is shared. Everything stays on your device.
