ScrollShame – Stop Doomscrolling, Take Back Control

ScrollShame helps you stop doomscrolling before hours disappear.

If you’ve ever opened Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok “for a minute” and lost track of time, ScrollShame is built for you.

Instead of blocking apps completely, ScrollShame interrupts scrolling using time limits and short videos that help you break the scrolling habit.

How ScrollShame Works

Choose the apps you want to control
ScrollShame currently supports:

- Instagram (Reels)

- YouTube (Shorts)

- TikTok

- Reddit

- Facebook

- X (Twitter)

Set a daily time limit for each app
You decide how much time feels reasonable.

Get interrupted when you exceed the limit
When your time runs out, ScrollShame interrupts the scrolling session and plays a short video you’ve chosen.

These videos are designed to:

Break autopilot scrolling

Bring awareness to your habit

Encourage you to stop, pause, or exit the app
