Doomscroll Detector

We deploy real-time behavioral analytics to detect compulsive consumption of negative content, initiating a hard block to restore user focus.

This system is a critical intervention tool: it uses a proprietary algorithm to identify 'doomscrolling' patterns (excessive, rapid scrolling on news or social platforms) and deploys immediate countermeasures. The current Chrome extension, for example, offers customizable blocked sites and scroll distance limits (Version 0.4.1 details). Our objective is non-negotiable: reduce user anxiety, improve sleep quality, and boost daily productivity. We provide the boundary; the user reclaims control over their digital consumption.
