About this app
Screen time says "3 hours". ScrollIQ says you watched 400 reels. Which number makes you put the phone down?
ScrollIQ is a reel counter and screen time tracker for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels and Snapchat Spotlight. It counts every short video you watch, scores your day out of 100, and adds a short pause that breaks the loop. Stop doomscrolling and cut social media time without deleting your apps.
COUNT EVERY REEL & SHORT
• Live reel counter for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and Snapchat Spotlight
• A small floating counter appears only while you're on a reel feed
• Ads are skipped and replays don't count twice
• TikTok support is coming soon
REEL TAX: A PAUSE THAT BREAKS THE LOOP
Every 30 reels, ScrollIQ shows a 5-second pause screen. Just enough friction to snap you out of autopilot. Choose how often it appears (every 10 to 100 reels) and how long it lasts (3 to 15 seconds).
WHY NOT JUST BLOCK REELS?
Most reels blockers and app blockers are all or nothing, so people switch them off and go back to scrolling. ScrollIQ lets you keep your apps and still cut back: see the count, take the pause, stay under your daily reel limit. A gentler way to stop scrolling and break social media addiction, phone addiction and short-video brain rot.
A DAILY REEL LIMIT YOU SET YOURSELF
Each morning, set your reel budget for the day. Track reels vs budget live, then close the day in the evening to keep your streak. Add the home-screen widget to see your Brain Score and streak at a glance.
YOUR DAILY BRAIN SCORE
One score out of 100 based on reels watched, total screen time, social media time and late-night scrolling. Climb from Brain Melt to Focus Master. A 7-day reel forecast shows if your habit is getting better or worse.
COMPETE WITH FRIENDS AND GROUPS
• Friends ranked by Brain Score, with daily change and streaks
• Private groups of up to 20 with today's standings: score and reels
• Leaderboards: recent, weekly and all-time
• 7-Day Scroll Detox challenge
Willpower alone rarely works. A little friendly competition does.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
Share your invite link on WhatsApp or anywhere. You're connected as friends as soon as they join.
GENTLE REMINDERS, NOT SPAM
Streak reminders, friend activity and a weekly Brain Score recap. Turn any of them off.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Anyone who wants to stop scrolling or try a dopamine detox without deleting their apps
• Students who want to focus instead of losing study time to Reels and Shorts
• Friends, roommates and teams doing a digital detox challenge together
ScrollIQ is free to use.
PRIVACY: HOW SCROLLIQ USES THE ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE
ScrollIQ uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect and count the Reels, Shorts and Spotlight videos you scroll through in Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Snapchat, and to show the live counter and Reel Tax pause. This reel count powers your Brain Score, leaderboards and challenges.
It reads only the on-screen layout of these short-video feeds to recognise when a new reel appears. It does NOT read, collect, store or transmit your messages, passwords or any other personal content. All reel detection happens on your device; only your daily totals sync for leaderboards.
ScrollIQ asks for your consent before enabling it, and you can turn it off at any time in Android Settings, which stops all counting immediately.
Install ScrollIQ, scroll like normal for one day, and see your real number.
