MindGate

Break the scroll. Mind challenge stands between you and apps

MindGate launched on April 6, 2026.

What it does

MindGate breaks the doomscrolling autopilot. Every app open triggers a mind challenge — math, Stroop test, or breathing exercise. The longer you want to scroll, the harder it gets. Sessions end, apps lock. Mindful friction, intentional choices.

Productivity Developer Diu Vladimir Size 30 MB iPhone, iPad Most app blockers just say NO. MindGate makes you think first — and most people change their mind themselves. That's how you actually break the habit instead of fighting it. You open Instagram for "just a second." Forty minutes later you're still scrolling. It's not weakness — it's autopilot. MindGate puts one small moment of awareness between the impulse and the tap: before you enter, your brain has to wake up first. When dopamine stops being free, you stop scrolling on reflex — and start deciding on purpose. Nothing opens on autopilot. WORKS WITH THE APPS THAT HIJACK YOU Block Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat, X — or…from apps.apple.com

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
