Early access — beta opening in waves

The screen time accountability app that tells on you.

Set your daily scroll limit and pick a person — your partner, your gym buddy, your mom. Blow past the limit, and ScrollSnitch texts them. That's it. That's the app.

ScrollSnitch 🕵️ Billy just passed 3 hours on TikTok today. Do with this what you will.
Mom Billy. Call me. 📵
The real problem

You don't have a screen time problem. You have an "ignore limit" problem.

You've set the app timers. You've tried the blockers. And every single night at 11:40 PM, you tap "Remind me in 15 minutes" like it's a reflex. Willpower apps fail because the only person who knows you caved is you.

🕳️

The 2.5-hour "quick check"

You opened TikTok to watch one video. It is now dark outside and you know a stranger's entire divorce timeline.

🙈

Limits you ignore

Your phone's built-in limit is a suggestion, and you both know it. One tap and it's gone — no witnesses.

🗑️

Blockers you delete

Every blocker app has the same fatal flaw: the person who installed it can uninstall it. Quietly.

🧟

Mornings you regret

Six hours of sleep, a dead phone battery, and nothing to show for last night except a sore thumb.

How it works

Three steps. Zero trust in future-you.

No willpower required — that's the whole idea.

1

Set your line

Pick the apps that eat you alive and a daily limit you can live with. ScrollSnitch reads your phone's own screen time reporting — nothing creepy.

2

Choose your snitch-ee

Enter the phone number of someone whose opinion you actually fear. Partner, best friend, mom. They get one text explaining they've been chosen.

3

Cross it and they know

Stay under your limit: silence. Blow past it: one perfectly worded text goes out. Turning the app off? That sends a text too. There is no quiet way out.

The science-ish part

Built on the one thing stronger than an algorithm: not wanting your mom to know.

Study after study shows external accountability beats self-monitoring for behavior change — it's why gym buddies work and why you're on time for other people but late for yourself. ScrollSnitch just automates the buddy. You bring the healthy fear of disappointing someone; we bring the texts.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How does ScrollSnitch know how much I've scrolled?

It reads the same screen time reporting your phone already keeps (Screen Time on iPhone, Digital Wellbeing on Android). You pick which apps count — most people track the scroll traps like TikTok, Instagram, and X, not their maps app.

What exactly does my accountability partner see?

One text, only when you cross the line you set. Something like: "ScrollSnitch here. Billy just passed 3 hours on TikTok today. Do with this what you will." They never see your screen, your apps minute-by-minute, or anything you didn't agree to share.

Can't I just turn it off when I want to binge?

You can — but that's the point of the snitch. Disabling or pausing ScrollSnitch sends your person one final text letting them know you turned it off. Quitting quietly isn't an option, which is exactly why it works.

Will it be free?

Early access members get the beta free. At launch we expect pricing around a few dollars a month — real texts cost real money to send, and a price tag keeps us from ever needing to sell your data. No ads, ever.

When does it launch?

We're opening the beta in waves. Joining the early access list gets you an invite in order — and founding members lock in the lowest price for good.

Your feed will still be there tomorrow.
