Break Your
Doom Scrolling
Habit
ScrollFriction uses the thing you hate most — ads — to cure your phone addiction. Every time you open a distracting app, you hit a gate. That tiny moment of friction is all your brain needs to snap out of autopilot.
How It Works
Three steps. No willpower required.
Pick Your Poison
Select the apps you waste the most time on. Instagram, TikTok, Reddit — you know the ones.
Hit the Gate
Open a blocked app and you'll face the Gate. Watch a short ad or use a Golden Ticket to get through.
Choose Focus. Get Celebrated.
Walk away instead? You get confetti, celebrations, and Golden Tickets. Your brain learns that focus feels good.
Features
Designed to change behavior, not just block apps.
The Friction Gate
A conscious pause before every distracting app. Ads become medicine — making you ask "do I really need this?"
Golden Tickets
Earn premium bypass tickets by choosing focus over distraction. Use them when you genuinely need quick access.
Celebrations
Walk away from a distraction and get rewarded with confetti and encouragement. Positive reinforcement that sticks.
Happy Hour
Schedule guilt-free scrolling windows — lunch breaks, evenings, weekends. Because balance matters.
Focus Stats
Track your progress with daily stats on blocks, avoidances, and streaks. Watch your habits transform.
100% Private
All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Just you and your habits.
Why Friction Works
Most app blockers lock you out completely. That doesn't work — you just disable them when you're desperate.
ScrollFriction takes a different approach. It doesn't say "no." It says "are you sure?"
By adding a small, annoying friction point (watching an ad), your brain has just enough time to break out of the autopilot loop. And when you choose to walk away? That gets celebrated — reinforcing the behavior you actually want.
Friction as medicine. Celebration as reward.
