What’s the difference between app timers and this?
App timers are fine but they are not effective enough. We wanted to create something more – a tool that effectively disrupts social media’s addictive design and nudges you toward meaningful alternatives.
You can always try combining ScrollKiller with an app timer.
Should we blame companies behind social media?
Their practices are unethical, manipulative, selfish, and harmful. They can make your life harder, but they can’t take away your free will. We believe everyone should take full responsibility for their lives and decisions. Especially after you learn about the dangers of social media, it’s up to you how you will live your life.
ScrollKiller is not about hate against companies. It hates our current relationship with content consumption. With the goal of changing it, starting from you.
What are the potential benefits of reduced phone use?
Increase in well-being, focus, motivation, productivity, and enjoyment from real-life experiences.
Why don’t just uninstall social media?
Go ahead
But what should I do with my free time instead?
Anything that has some meaning. Anything that doesn’t ruin your brain’s reward system like social media and other meaningless dopaminergic activities.
Some ideas: Learn new skills. Go to the gym, run, or bike. Start a new business project. Work on your current project. Or do nothing, that’s when you come up with the greatest ideas. Move, think, learn, live, create, and get better.
