Description
A Chrome extension that gives you one daily time budget across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Substack. The longer you scroll, the redder the page gets, until you can barely read it. Nothing gets blocked. You just can't pretend you're not scrolling anymore. Post something original on X and you earn minutes back: consuming burns your budget, creating refills it. Everything stays in your browser, no servers and no tracking. Free for 7 days, then $6.99 a year (one San Francisco latte).
