Scrollified is a short-form video app designed to reduce algorithm chaos and endless scrolling. Instead of an infinite feed, videos are organized into curated categories so you can explore content more intentionally. Features like **Time’s Up Mode** and **Focus Mode** help limit endless watching, while a fresh set of videos drops every 24 hours. Built solo over 9 months while working full-time and pursuing a PhD in AI.
Scrollified is free to use, with an optional $1.99/month Scrollified+ subscription if you want to unlock the full suite of features. (automatically localized to your region).
As a small thank you to the Product Hunt community, I generated 50 free Scrollified+ codes.
If you'd like one, just reply here and I’ll send it over 🙂
Alternatively, feel free to shoot me a DM on X and I'll hook you up there. Can't wait to hear what you think!

The zombie feeling is the perfect description for what makes short-form video genuinely exhausting. App blockers never worked for me either because the problem isn't the time spent, it's the lack of intention behind it. Categorized feeds that run out is a genuinely different mental model.
To answer your question: I think infinite scroll is a design choice that became an assumption. Short-form video doesn't need it, the format works because the content is short, not because the feed is endless. The daily drop mechanic is interesting precisely because it reframes scarcity as a feature rather than a bug.
8 months of nights and weekends while finishing a PhD is a serious commitment. The fact that it came from a personal frustration rather than a market analysis shows. Congrats on the launch Mj!
@joao_seabra Thank you Joao! 🙌 Really appreciate this comment, you captured the core idea better than I probably did in the launch description.
That “zombie feeling” was exactly what pushed me to build this. The content itself is often great, but the infinite feed removes any natural stopping point.
The categorized feeds running out was actually a big design decision. At first, I worried users would hate it, but during testing, it did the opposite; people liked having a clear end instead of feeling pulled into an endless loop.
Interesting point about infinite scroll becoming an assumption. Do you think users would actually prefer finite feeds if more platforms experimented with it, or has the endless model become too ingrained now?
