GO. TO. SLEEP.
0h52 on Instagram today · limit 0h30
Instagram stole 22 minutes of your day. Your limit wants a divorce.
Your phone is stealing your life
You open TikTok for one video. An hour later it's midnight, you're still scrolling, and you feel worse than when you started. You're not lazy. These apps are built so you can't stop. We built the thing that stops them.

Sound familiar?
You're not choosing to scroll. It's choosing for you.
Forty minutes later you're still on TikTok and you never did see the time.
It's 1 AM. You were going to sleep at 11. Tomorrow-you is already tired.
Ignore. Tapped in under a second, like it was never there.
Then picked it up again four minutes later, without even deciding to.
Gone. Spent on the sofa, thumb moving, mind somewhere else.
Every time. And you still can't stop opening it.
It's not a willpower problem. Economists found about 31% of social media use comes from self control problems, not choice. Allcott, Gentzkow & Song (2022), "Digital Addiction", American Economic Review
The real cost
2h 21m
The average person spends 2 hours 21 minutes a day on social media alone. From 18 to 80, that's over 6 years of your life. Gone. On other people's highlights.

Imagine
What would you do with your life back?
Asleep before midnight
No more 1 AM scroll holes. Wake up like a person, not a phone charger.
Evenings that feel like yours
The hours you swear you don't have. They were there all along.
Finish what you start
The book, the side project, the gym. Your brain back, in one piece.
Feel in control again
Pick up your phone because you chose to, not because your thumb did.
Actually feel better
Less comparing, less doom, less of that hollow after-scroll feeling.
It works fast. In a randomised study, cutting social apps to about 30 minutes a day reduced loneliness and depression within 3 weeks. Hunt, Marx, Lipson & Young (2018), Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology

Questions
Before you join
When does it launch?
As soon as Google Play approves it. Android first, then iPhone. Join the waitlist and you get one email the day it's live.
What do the founding 1,000 get?
Their first 3 months free. Places go in the order people join the waitlist, so the earlier you join, the better.
What is doomscroll.ai?
A screen time app with a Grim Reaper who won't let you scroll your life away. He's funny, he's relentless, and he's on your side.
How much will it cost?
Pricing is announced at launch. Joining the waitlist is free, and the first 1,000 in line get their first 3 months free.
Does it read my messages?
No. It only sees how long apps are open, and that stays on your phone. Never your messages, photos or what you watch.
Does it work on iPhone?
Android comes first. Apple only lets apps watch other apps with a special permission, which we've applied for.
Is it a parental control app?
No. It's for adults and older teens who choose it for themselves. No spying and no remote control.
