Use cases
What people actually use QuitScrolling for.
The patterns the app was built around, in plain language.
Most people don't show up to a screen-time app because they want a new productivity system. They show up because something specific is going wrong, and they're tired of pretending it'll fix itself. These are the patterns the app was built around.
The 2 a.m. scroll
Bedtime scrolling.
You went to bed at a reasonable hour. You opened the phone "for a minute." It's now two and a quarter hours later and you're still in the feed. Tomorrow's you is going to pay for this, and you can already feel them paying for it.

Doomscrolling.
One bad headline turned into ten. The body adrenalines while the brain looks for the next story. You're not learning anything. You're feeding a stress loop that's pretending to be informed citizenship.

Studying.
The textbook is open. The phone is closer. Every time the material gets a little hard, the phone gets a little tempting. You're spending more time switching contexts than reading.

Deep work.
You blocked the calendar. You closed Slack. You're still picking the phone up every six minutes. The work doesn't compound when your attention can't.

Family boundaries.
Bedtime in your house is a negotiation, every night. Nobody wants to be the parent who takes the phone away. Nobody wants to be the kid who fights for it. The phone makes everyone the worst version of themselves.

Revenge bedtime procrastination.
You scroll until 1 a.m. not because you're not tired, but because the phone is the only part of the day that feels like yours. The relief is real. The cost is real too.

Morning phone checking.
The alarm goes off. The phone is already in your hand. By the time you sit up, you've absorbed an hour of someone else's priorities. The day is set before you got to set it.
