hey product hunt 👋 agentic coding was supposed to make us more productive, but i found myself constantly pulling out my phone to doomscroll in between prompts. this seemed like a great way to spend my building hours; agent codes while i doomscroll, but i quickly realized that i'm scrolling away precious time in my life that i can utilize on more productive tasks while the agent runs. every focus app i tried needed me to remember to start a session. i wanted one that just knew when i was actually coding on my mac. i built cantscroll to solve this problem for me and for other developers and vibecoders who are addicted to doomscrolling. cantscroll watches for ai coding agents on your mac (claude code, cursor, codex, antigravity…) and the second one starts, it locks the distracting apps on your paired iphone via screen time, then unblocks them automatically when the session ends. just set it and forget it. this is the first and only iphone screen time app that can detect agentic coding sessions on your mac. - mac agent: free, installs with brew or download the pkg from cantscroll.com/mac - iphone app: does the blocking — $7.99/mo or $59.99/yr (3-day free trial) - private by design: no account, no data collected this app is from me to you, hoping we save ourselves from brainrot altogether.
