Description
Doom Saver helps you cut back on doomscrolling without quitting social media. A live timer sits on top of the apps you choose, so you always know how long you've been scrolling. Add the tasks you keep meaning to do like reading a book or call back mum, and it reminds you of them while you're in the apps. Stats show your time, opens and busiest hours by app, so you can see where your evenings go. It never sees your screen, and your usage stays on your phone. Free on Android.
