About

NovaSynapse — an independent product lab building lightweight native utilities and resilient SaaS platforms. We obsess over things that matter to developers: • Zero bloat & minimal memory footprint • 100% privacy-first (offline-capable, no third-party trackers) • Lifetime / fair pricing instead of subscription fatigue I help our engineering team share transparent deep-dives, benchmark breakdowns, and lessons learned from shipping apps like Scroll Brake (iOS) and ClipVault (macOS). Big supporter of the indie dev ecosystem. If you're building dev tools or launching something cool, ping me — I’d love to check it out! 🛠️

Scroll Brake Chrome Extension - Stop mindless tab-switching with mental math barriers

Scroll Brake is now on Chrome! It stops mindless tab-switching by adding cognitive friction before distracting websites open: • Mental math barrier: Solve quick arithmetic to unlock sites. Each repeat unlock gets tougher. • Active-time tracking: The timer only ticks when you actively type, scroll, or move your mouse. • Surgical blocking: Block addictive feeds (like YouTube Shorts) while keeping tutorials open. • 100% private: Zero tracking, no accounts, runs locally.

Scroll Brake — App Blocker - Stop doomscrolling with conscious math friction on iOS

Scroll Brake is a lightweight (~4MB) iOS app that replaces mindless scrolling with healthy mental friction. Standard limits fail because tapping 'Ignore' is pure muscle memory. Instead of an easy bypass, Scroll Brake locks distracting apps behind quick math puzzles, cooling impulsive dopamine cravings in 10 seconds. Built natively on Apple's Screen Time API with zero battery drain and 100% on-device privacy. Up to 3 rules are completely free forever, with no ads, trackers, or subscriptions.
