Scroll Harder Makes Doomscrolling Earn Its Next Swipe
A browser extension adds adjustable friction to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and X without blocking the feeds.

- Worth noticing
- The extension applies a stated 500:1 resistance ratio and converts scrolling effort into a small stadium run for Bolt.
Field notes
The homepage frames the product as friction rather than abstinence: users can continue scrolling, but the feed advances only slightly relative to their input. It lists controls for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and X, with no account and local statistics. A playful measurement layer translates effort into a stadium run for Bolt. The advertised $9 purchase includes lifetime updates, while the more ambitious 21-day taper and off-hours blocking remain identified as V2 plans.
