Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built Scroll Brake because every other app blocker has the same fatal flaw: when your time's up, you just tap "Ignore Limit" and you're back in. Willpower alone doesn't stand a chance against apps engineered to hijack your attention. Scroll Brake works differently. When your daily limit hits zero, it doesn't offer an easy bypass — it hands you a randomly generated math problem. That tiny bit of friction is enough to snap you out of autopilot scrolling and give your brain a second to ask "do I actually need this right now?" Usually the answer is no. What makes it different: 🧮 Math Puzzle Barrier — the only way past a limit is solving a quick equation, not tapping a button 🔒 Unbreakable Shield — built on Apple's official Screen Time API, so it can't be swiped away or bypassed ⏱️ Custom Daily Limits — set limits per app, per category, or per website 📊 Activity Insights — see today's usage and 7-day trends 🕵️ 100% Private — everything runs locally, we never see your data Built for anyone who's realized "just checking one thing" turns into 45 minutes gone — professionals doing deep work, students avoiding procrastination, people with ADHD who need external structure, or anyone just trying to reclaim a little sanity from their phone. Would love your feedback — what would make this even harder to bypass? 😄
