A calmer night
Designed to disappear into your evening.
No streak-shaming, no noise. Just a quiet boundary you set in advance and a few honest numbers in the morning.
The honest part
Why screen time limits fail.
Most blockers assume you'll make good decisions when you're tired. Unfortunately, that's exactly when self-control is weakest.
Too easy to bypass
Tapping "Ignore for 15 minutes" takes zero effort. When you're tired, you tap it every time.
Willpower depletion
You start the day with strong intentions, but by 11 PM your executive function is gone.
Instant overrides
Most blockers fail because escape is always one tap away. There is no real cost to caving.
How it works
Emergency access stays open. Impulse access gets hard.
Lock distracting apps behind a paper recovery phrase. Real emergencies always get through. Impulses have to get out of bed.
- Pre-commit by daySet your boundary while you're thinking clearly.
- Stay reachableCalls and essential apps are never blocked.
- Resist the impulseUnlocking early means finding your paper and typing the phrase.

You protected
your night.
Every morning
Wake up to proof, not regret.
Every morning you see exactly what happened overnight — no guesswork, no guilt. Just a few honest numbers and your run of protected nights.
- Evenings protected, not just screen time tracked.
- Unlock attempts, honestly counted
- Scrolling prevented, night after night
Accountability
Bring someone in, if you want backup.
Some promises are easier to keep when someone you trust knows you made them. QuitScrolling lets you add an optional accountability partner who is notified if you end a lock early. They see one thing, whether you held your boundary, never your messages, your apps, or your activity. It is encouragement, not surveillance, and you can turn it off anytime.
How accountability works- You choose the partner, and you choose what they're told.
- They see only whether a lock was kept or ended early.
- No messages, no content, no tracking, ever.
Who it's for
Who uses QuitScrolling?
Why we built it
Why we built QuitScrolling.
We tried Screen Time, Opal, and every blocker we could find. We bypassed all of them. The problem wasn't awareness — it was that escape was always one tap away.
So we built around a different idea: make impulsive unlocking harder than staying in bed.
Built by a psychiatrist who got tired of watching screen habits wreck people's sleep.
Emergencies always get through
Calls and essential functions are never blocked. The friction is only for the feed.
No monitoring, no selling
We don't read your messages and we never sell your data. We keep only what's needed to run the service.
Honest by design
No streak-shaming and no dark patterns. Just a quiet boundary and a few honest numbers in the morning.
Nighttime boundaries without nightly arguments.
Set protected hours in advance and let the app hold the line, so bedtime is a setting, not a standoff. Boundaries, not surveillance.
QuitScrolling does not monitor messages, content, calls, photos, or communications.
