A different approach to reducing screen time
I built Reclaim because I noticed how often I open Instagram or TikTok without even thinking about it.
Most screen-time apps try to block social media completely, but I wanted to try a different approach.
Reclaim creates a small pause before social media opens:
• a short animation
• a deep breath
• a simple reflective question
The goal is to interrupt autopilot scrolling with a tiny moment of awareness.
Would genuinely love feedback from the Product Hunt community 🙌

AirJump — Make social media more active
@kate_ramakaieva Totally get that
That’s exactly what Reclaim tries to fix — a small pause instead of full blocking.
I also have AirJump for reducing doom scrolling — you can try it too.
Thanks for sharing!
@kate_ramakaieva The thing nobody tells you about doom scrolling — it's rarely the apps, it's the dopamine debt from the day. End a day without a single "win" moment, your brain hunts one in the feed at 11 pm. Fix the day, and the scroll fixes itself. (David's right that AirJump nudges the day-side of that loop — worth trying.)
Late to this — but the AirJump positioning angle (faster-than-Zoom for async loom-style intros) is the cleanest wedge I've seen on the timeline this week. The "no setup, no account, just send" framing should be the H1, not the H2. Curious if the founder DMs convert higher than the cold links?
AirJump — Make social media more active
@fidele_maniraruta Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback 🙌
You’re absolutely right — the “no setup, no account, just send” angle is likely the strongest value prop. I’ll definitely test making it the H1.
And yes, founder DMs have been converting better than cold links so far — conversations clearly lead to higher-quality responses.
Thanks again for sharing this, really valuable insight.
@david_firouzbakht Glad it landed. The "no setup, no account, just send" frame works because it answers the only question that matters in async intros — "what do I have to do to receive this?" Zero friction = a signal that you respect the recipient's time.
On the DM vs cold link data — that tracks. DMs force a context window that the link doesn't get. The link's just text; the DM is a person asking. If you've got 5+ founder DMs converting now, that's also the seed for case-study quotes when you do v2 launch.
Cheering for the H1 swap. Ship it.
"Hey David — thanks so much for the upvote on SDKCraft! Really appreciate the support from a fellow maker. Checked out AirJump too, love the concept of making social media more active — congrats on the streak and the traction 🔥"
Love the concept of creating intentional friction instead of outright blocking! Hard blockers often feel too punitive, so adding a mindful pause is a fresh approach. Have you noticed if users stick longer with this method compared to traditional screen-time apps?
