Dopamine is cheap. Your brain isn't.

How it works

The colour follows you.

Every day you get 30 minutes of feed time, shared across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Substack. Burn it on X and LinkedIn is already red when you get there. You pick the number, and which feeds count.

Same feed. Same you. 43 minutes later.

Create, don't doom-scroll.

Posting something original on X earns minutes back and the red drains away. Consuming burns your budget; creating refills it. Replies don't count.

It keeps score.

Posts read, opens, minutes against your 7-day average. A small counter follows your cursor down the feed. All of it stays in your browser.

Opening costs extra.

Every fresh visit burns a couple of minutes off the top. Checking 14 times a day is the habit, so the habit has a price.

Red won't stop you.

Nothing is blocked, you can always keep scrolling. You just can't pretend you're not.

Runs on those five sites and nowhere else. Toggle any of them off. Nothing leaves your browser.

Free for 7 days.

Then $6.99 a year (one San Francisco latte).
