I wanted to find a way to use Instagram without ending up scrolling for two hours every time I open the app to see a friend's story. Most screen time apps I found focus on blocking the app itself instead of the addictive feed, so I created this app to allow me to keep using the "healthy" and "social" features and block the infinite scrolling (Reels) After implementing the block on Instagram Reels, I got addicted to YouTube Shorts and Reddit feed. So, I extended the app to cover these as well. To avoid replacing the scrolling for regular feeds, I also added a feature that shows a pop-up when…

ScreenBreak▲125Hi HN, I built ScreenBreak after realizing that most app blockers failed in practice. “Hard blocks” were too rigid — I either locked myself out entirely or tapped Ignore Limit and kept scrolling.

In reality, people still need to open apps like TikTok or Instagram for specific tasks: looking something up, replying to someone, checking updates, etc. The problem isn’t intentional use; it’s the unplanned, unconscious scrolling that follows. I wanted a system that interrupts the impulse without fully preventing access. ScreenBreak uses soft blocking plus…

The solution concerns work/life balance. Many procrastinate during working hours, getting distracted by entertainment content and social media, or work on work-related sites during their free time instead of resting. This extension helps control work/life balance by setting time limits for accessing websites. Simply put, it's a Website Blocker with a focus mode and a timer. I use all my products myself, and this one is no exception. The results in numbers: 1. Sleep. I started going to bed 2-3 hours earlier = + 1 hour of sleep on average. 2. Peace of mind. Since I no longer access…
