Doomscrolling steals ~46 days a year. ReelHabitX locks your reel apps, turns the timer into a hangman, and swaps the urge for a habit that pays you back.
You didn't mean to lose an hour to reels. You never do — that's the trap.
ReelHabitX is built for exactly one problem: the endless short-video scroll. It doesn't nag you with graphs. It puts a real hurdle between you and the feed, and gives the urge somewhere better to go.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Lock the apps that hook you.
Pick your worst reel app — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, whatever it is — and set a daily limit or a full lock. Apple Screen Time shields it for you. Turning a lock off takes Face ID and a habit done first, so there's no mindless 2 a.m. unlock.
2. Watch the cost, live.
The Today screen is a hangman. Every minute you scroll fills in another stroke and another letter of the word. Stay under your limit and the figure lives. It's the honest, uncomfortable picture your usual screen-time chart never gives you.
3. Swap the urge for a habit.
The moment an app is blocked, ReelHabitX suggests the habit you chose instead — read a few pages, take a short walk, stretch, breathe. One tap starts it. Build a streak instead of a scroll.
4. See what you won back.
Insights gives you one number that matters: the hours you reclaimed this week versus last. Share it — it's a good look.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
- A hurdle, not a guilt trip. Locks require Face ID + a real habit to weaken, so willpower isn't the only thing standing between you and the feed.
- The scroll made visible. The hangman turns an abstract number into something you feel.
- A better thing to do. Every block ends with a suggestion, not a locked door.
- Yours alone. Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, ever.
