ScrollBreak

Combat YouTube doom scrolling with smart time limits, focus mode, and mental challenges.

ScrollBreak helps you take back control of your time on YouTube. Instead of mindlessly scrolling from one video to the next, you set a daily time limit — and when it's up, you're gently stopped before the next binge begins. But here's what makes ScrollBreak different: getting more time isn't free or automatic. To unlock bonus minutes, you complete a short mental challenge — a quick brain teaser, a memory game, or a typing sprint. That tiny moment of friction breaks the autopilot, snaps you back into a conscious decision, and asks: do I actually want more, or was I just scrolling? What you get: - ⏱️ Daily time limits — decide how much YouTube is enough, and ScrollBreak holds you to it. - 🧠 Challenge-to-unlock — earn bonus time by beating Brain Sprint, Memory Matrix, or a Typing Challenge. No mindless "click to continue." - 🎯 Focus mode — strip away the distractions that keep you scrolling. - 📊 Insight dashboard — see your real usage trends, challenges completed, and time reclaimed over time. - 🔒 Built to help, not punish — ScrollBreak is designed to feel like a helpful nudge, not a lockout. Why it works: Doom scrolling thrives on zero friction. ScrollBreak adds just enough — a moment to think — at exactly the right point. Over time, those moments add up to hours back in your day. Install ScrollBreak and turn YouTube from a time sink into something you use on purpose. Free to use. Your data stays anonymous — no account required to get started.
