Neutral Scroll

What it does

Neutral Scroll is an iPhone app for the habitual moment your thumbs reach for your social media feed. Calming haptic feedback and slow colour transitions give you a controlled way to regulate the urge. Ninety seconds, then it ends itself. No algorithm, no streaks, no account.

How it works You define rules like: • After X minutes in selected apps • At location Y • Insert a Z-second pause before you can continue When triggered, the app is temporarily covered by a shield.
