Tired of doomscrolling? If you're anything like I was, you are. I built Barrier to help limit my scrolling to 10 minute increments. Once finished, the app locks and I'm forced to be productive.
In order to unlock my apps, users are forced to wait 30 seconds. This gives your brain a moment to rethink the itch to open something without a real reason. Barrier is free and seriously effective (users report 70% less screen time). Stop scrolling. Start living.
This is the 2nd launch from Barrier: The FREE screen time focus app. View more
Barrier
Launched this week
Stop doomscrolling by blocking your addictive apps!
Tired of doomscrolling? Barrier limits screen time to 10-minute sessions, then locks distracting apps. To unlock, you wait 30 seconds... just enough time to reconsider. It’s free, simple, and users report 70% less screen time. Stop scrolling. Start living.
I originally built this for myself because I was wasting way too much time scrolling. After showing a few friends, they convinced me to release it publicly.
The 30-second pause breaks that automatic habit of opening apps when you get bored, and the 10-minute re-lock that snaps you back to reality.
Honestly has saved me from hours of scrolling every day and hope it can do the same for you!
@jcass99 For sure, its going to help a lot of people. Doom scrolling has been a problem for many even around me. We are live on PH today and your support would mean a lot.
