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.
Can I unblock social media if I really need it?
Yes. Hold the “use social media” button to continue.
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 decisions. Especially after you learn about the dangers of social media, it’s up to you what path you will choose.
ScrollKiller is not about hate against companies. It hates our current relationship with digital content consumption. With the goal of changing it, starting from you.
What are the potential benefits of reduced phone use?
Hard to describe, you should just try it. Some examples include: you will likely feel better, be able to focus on important but not-so-stimulating tasks, and enjoy real-life experiences more.
What is Smart Detection?
Smart Detection gives you a little room to use social media intentionally. It blocks them when it looks like you are just wasting time.
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 types of shallow, fake pleasure.
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, learn, live, create, and help others.
