doomscroll.fyi — Social Media Time Limit

doomscroll.fyi is a social media time limit you can't ignore. Set a daily screen-time budget for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Substack, and as you doomscroll, the page literally turns red, deeper and deeper until you can barely read the feed. Nothing is ever blocked. You just can't pretend you're not scrolling. Doomscrolling is an accident that happens slowly. doomscroll.fyi makes it impossible not to notice. HOW IT WORKS • One shared budget across five feeds. Burn it on X and LinkedIn is already red when you get there. • Opening a site costs extra. Every fresh visit burns a couple of minutes off the top, checking 14 times a day is the habit, so the habit has a price. • Create, don't doom-scroll. Posting something original on X earns minutes back and the red drains away. Replies don't count. • It keeps score. Posts read, opens today, minutes against your 7-day average, plus a small counter that follows your cursor down the feed. • Toggle any of the five sites off in the popup. PRIVACY Everything stays in your browser. No servers, no analytics, no tracking. The only network request the extension ever makes is a license check to the payment service. Full policy: https://doomscroll.fyi/privacy GOOD FOR • Stopping doomscrolling and brain rot without deleting your accounts • A social media screen time limit that doesn't depend on willpower • Digital wellbeing and focus, see what the scroll actually costs you • Anyone who installed a website blocker and unblocked it a day later PRICING Free for 7 days, no signup.
