Most tools block apps or report screen time after the fact. The Doomscrolling Audit helps uncover what drives the habit. In about three minutes, it identifies your triggers, estimates how much time doomscrolling costs you, and creates a personalized 7-day reset plan. It is private, requires no login, and uses a supportive, shame-free approach focused on realistic changes, not harsh restrictions.

Hi Product Hunt! I built the Doomscrolling Audit because “I should scroll less” is rarely specific enough to change anything.
The audit takes about three minutes and helps you identify what triggers your doomscrolling, when it tends to happen, and how much time it may be costing you. It then gives you a personalized 7-day reset plan with realistic steps based on your answers.
A few things I wanted to do differently:
• No login required
• Private by default
• Personalized results, not just a generic score
• Supportive and shame-free
• Focused on understanding the habit
This is also part of Pax Gate, a mindful app blocker designed to create a brief pause before distracting apps open.
I’d especially love feedback on the questions, the accuracy of the results, and whether the reset plan feels practical. Thanks for checking it out!

Love the shame-free angle and that no login is required. One thing that would make the reset plan stick for me is a short end-of-day check-in that lets you rate how the day went and see your streak over the week, so the audit feels like the start of an ongoing habit rather than a one-off reflection.

@sedanurazaaa70 Awesome feedback and great idea! thanks! I'll think about how to implement this without a login. Maybe a generated file that is populated with your plan.

Love the shame-free angle and the quick audit format. One thing that would help me actually stick with the 7-day plan is a tiny check-in at the start of each day that asks how I am feeling and then surfaces just one micro-action from the plan based on that mood, instead of dropping the whole list on me every morning.

The three-minute audit with no login is such a smart friction choice—people actually stick with it instead of bouncing off a signup screen. Really appreciate the shame-free framing too, since most habit tools feel like a guilt trip.
Love the shame-free angle and the quick audit format, that already sets it apart from the usual blockers. One thing that would make the reset plan stick for me is a built-in check-in halfway through the 7 days, maybe a short reflection prompt, so you can adjust the plan instead of only seeing results at the end.
The three-minute audit format is really clever, feels low-pressure enough that someone will actually finish it instead of bailing halfway through. Love that it's shame-free and skips the login wall.
