Reel Counter

Reel Counter helps you see exactly how much you're scrolling, in real time.

Ever open Instagram or YouTube "just for a minute" and lose track of time? Reel Counter shows a live counter right on your screen while you scroll Reels or Shorts, so you always know exactly how many you've watched.

How it works: Reel Counter uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect when you scroll through a Reel or Short. This is the only way to reliably count scrolls in real time. The app does not read, collect, or store the content you view, your messages, or any personal data — it only detects scroll events to increment a counter.

Features:

Live on-screen counter while using Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts
Daily history: see your total reels scrolled and time spent, every day
Set a personal reminder threshold — get notified when you've scrolled past your limit for the session
100% private: everything stays on your device, nothing is ever uploaded or shared

Reel Counter isn't about guilt-tripping you, it's about awareness. Sometimes just seeing the number is enough to make a different choice.
