Recognize the problem and take control
5 hours of screen time at 25 means you'll spend over 15 years of your remaining life glued to a phone (source).
This takes a toll on your mental health and shrinks your attention span to that of a goldfish 🐟.
We believe social media is genuinely useful, but it's too easy to get addicted.
Let us help: we'll give you relevant data to take action and streaks to prevent doomscrolling.
🧑 Stop being a goldfish with SpeedBump
Our testimonials
This app is like paying a Gen-Z intern to annoy you so you spend less time on your phone.
“I don't know how this works but it looks cool”
“The cat one is funny”
“Can you let go of my arm and stop talking about screen time apps?”

Start with self-compassion. Doomscrolling is what happens when tech companies optimize every detail to keep you hooked. Negative news worsen the problem; media thrives on alarming and controversial content because it grabs attention. Feeling challenged when limiting usage is normal – these apps are designed to be addictive.
Social media can still be useful to learn and connect with others. So it's all about setting boundaries, and achieving a more conscious usage. Checking a message from a friend but getting stuck for an hour shouldn't be the norm.
Building habits takes time. SpeedBump gives you that push while you try to take control again. After a two-week streak, you'll find yourself aware of your usage and spending more time on things you truly enjoy.
