TONIGHT, SOMEWHERE ON YOUR COUCH

attention: 100%

“Just checking notifications.”

“One reel. Okay, six.”

“You've been ‘about to stop’ for 40 minutes.”

“It's dark outside. Your thumb aches. Keep going.”

“He won. Again.”

That took you 15 seconds of scrolling.

The average person does it for 4+ hours a day. That's 61 full days a year — handed to the rat.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Three lies you told yourself this week

“I'm just replying to one message.”

You opened Instagram to answer a DM. That was 96 minutes ago. The DM is still unanswered.

“Five more minutes, then sleep.”

It's 1:47 AM. You're watching a man power-wash a driveway. You have a meeting at 9.

“Monday I'll cut back.”

Screen Time says 6h 12m. You screenshot it, feel something, then open TikTok to feel nothing.

Willpower is not a system.
ScrollRat is.

HOW YOU FIGHT BACK

Traps. Walls. Zero negotiation.

Block tab — daily limits and scheduled blocking

SET TRAPS

Daily limits & scheduled no-go zones

Give Instagram one hour. Wall off your evenings. Group the worst offenders and block them in bulk. You set the rules once — the traps do the enforcing, every day, without asking how you feel about it.

Per-app daily limits that actually trip
Scheduled blocks — mornings, evenings, overnight
App groups for bulk blocking

The real block overlay — ScrollRat's been in Instagram for 47 min today

HIT THE WALL

When time's up, the door slams

Not a gentle nudge. Not a dismissible banner. A full-screen wall with a rat on it, standing between you and the feed — that screenshot is the real thing. Powered by Apple's Screen Time engine, so it holds even when you don't.

Full-screen block overlay on every trapped app
Overrides land on your daily report — he's keeping score
Strict Mode: one button. It says Leave. That's the feature.

Focus tab — 2h 8m given back today, daily tasks and missions

WIN IT BACK

Missions, focus sessions, visible recovery

Blocking is half the fight. The other half is what you do with the hours you claw back. Set up to five missions — the things that actually matter — and every block screen reminds you why it exists.

Missions with daily check-ins and progress
Focus sessions that repay your Scroll Debt
A rat that visibly recovers when you do

The weekly report — stolen vs given back, hour by hour

SCROLL DEBT

Midnight doesn't wipe the slate

Go over your limit and the overage carries into tomorrow. You repay it with focus sessions, not promises. Most screen-time apps forgive you every night at 12:00. ScrollRat remembers.
