Get your brain back.

A cute brain buddy that counts the Reels and Shorts you scroll, gets foggy when you doom-scroll, and helps you trade scrolling for things you actually want to do.

Coming soon on Google Play

Track. Stop. Replace.

Track

Know your number

A live count of Reels and Shorts in Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, LinkedIn and TikTok, plus a small counter around your front camera. No effort, no typing.

Stop

Limits that hold

Daily limits, a mindful pause before reels open, focus sessions and schedules. Hit your limit and a block screen steps in.

Replace

Do something better

A simple to-do list and habits with streaks. Finish them to earn a few extra reels. Your Brain Score climbs and your brain recovers.

Private by design
