The easiest way to build better screen time habits: replace scrolling with activities you enjoy.
Where do those missing months go? Not to sleep or work. They are lost to the average 4 hours we spend scrolling every day.
You spend as much time scrolling as you do living.
Identify your most vulnerable hours. Create a schedule that blocks apps automatically, so your free time stays free.
Schedules are 5x more effective than relying on self-control alone.
Instagram is blocked.
Add simple activities you’d rather do than scroll. Next time you reach for your phone, you’ll have a better option ready.
Replace cheap dopamine hits with genuine satisfaction.
Attempting to unlock a blocked app triggers a mindful pause. This simple interruption forces you to think before you doom-scroll.
Breaks the automatic habit loop in seconds.
Why do you want to scroll?
Try a planned activity instead?
Make a conscious choice: dive into a healthy activity, or proceed to scroll with intention. You are back in the driver's seat.
Regain full control over your digital consumption.
“I’ve cut my social media time roughly in half! I’m sleeping better and I don’t fall into midnight doomscrolling anymore.”
“I didn’t want a hardcore blocker. This feels more like a coach. I still unlock sometimes, but I feel better about the choices I make.”
“The check-ins made me notice I grab my phone whenever I’m stressed. Once I saw the pattern, it was way easier to change it.”

a more intentional digital future.
Like many of you, I found myself losing hours every day to mindless scrolling. I wanted to stop, but I struggled. I told myself I wanted to read more, work out more, and do more with my life—but whenever I had a free moment, I picked up my phone.
I tried using app blockers, but they always came up short. I didn't want something that just shouted "NO." I wanted something that asked, "What would you rather be doing instead?"
I'm building DistractionFree to help us reclaim our time and attention for the things we actually care about. I hope you'll join me.
On supported devices, DistractionFree schedules friendly blocks to reduce interruptions. You stay in control and can override anytime.
We take a privacy-first approach: we do not have access to or collect any of your screen time data. All your screen time data stays on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
We're inviting early users in waves to ensure the best experience. Join now to be first in line and help shape the app with your feedback.
