Do you know speed bumps?

Annoying, but they sure slow you down

Meet the speed bump for social media apps

The frame of a phone

The app to finally stop doomscrolling

Set a time limit when opening addictive apps

Get annoyed out of them when time's up

Take a 15-minute break before next use

Because gentle reminders don't work anymore. Neither do fixed timers or motivation quotes. Sometimes, you need something more… direct.

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.

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.
