Scrolling is actually fine...
...losing track of it is the actual bad bit.
We catch you mid-scroll, before it turns into a binge.
Your phone already has screen time limits.
So why are you still doomscrolling?
Because Screen Time only sees your total for the day, never the moment a quick check turns into twenty.
Built-ins
- Adds up your whole day, sends one alert, then stops until tomorrow
- Open an app 15 times in a row? Still counts as one session
- Counts the minutes. Doesn't know if you're working or scrolling
DoomGuard
- Every reopen counts on its own, so repeat visits get caught too
- Nudges you each time, not once a day
- Never locks the app, ever
- Pick the voice that actually gets through to you
Your Rhythm, Your Rules
Forget '45m per day'. Take 100 sessions if you want.
We just nudge you out of the spiral, not block the app.
Choose Your Persona
Pick your nudge style. Everyone gets nudged differently.
Select a persona that fits your goals - from gentle reminders to savage roasts.
Custom Schedule
Tailor your guard for every day of the week.
Morning, Afternoon, Evening: your life, your schedule.
"I need Instagram for work so I can't block it per se, but I hate the doomscroll. Real-time tracking actually breaks me out of it."

Common Questions
How does it work?
Apple's FamilyControls framework is the only iOS API that can detect when a specific app is in the foreground. This lets us monitor usage in a privacy-safe way and nudge you exactly when you reach your set frequency.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely. All usage monitoring happens locally on your device. We never see your app activity or private data.
Do I need to pay?
Nope. You can start for free and guard 1 app around the clock. Premium unlocks multiple apps, custom schedules, and detailed session insights.
What if I put my phone down for a while?
We call it a Rollover. If you take a break of more than 10 minutes, we treat your next scroll as a fresh start. We're not punishing you for actually taking a break.
You scrolled all the way here.
And you knew the whole time.
