## Description

⏱️ 2 hours a day. Right now, algorithms are stealing your time.

Scroll Detox starts working the moment you install it.
No buttons to toggle, no willpower needed every morning.
Installation is the start.

💪 How it works:

👉 YouTube — Escape the algorithm
- Home feed auto-blocked — the average user loses 28 minutes on the home page
- Shorts auto-blocked — 34 seconds × 97 per day = 55 minutes gone without noticing
- Subscription feed blocked — notifications arrive but the feed stays hidden

👉 Reddit — Search works, feeds disappear
- Home/Popular/News/Explore feeds individually blocked
- Individual subreddits and search stay intact — keep the subreddits that matter

👉 Schedule — Most popular setting: 9 AM – 6 PM
- Auto-block during work/study hours, free after
- Set different schedules per day
- Multiple schedule groups supported

👉 Mindfulness — Not blocking, transitioning
- Clock and mindfulness message on the block screen
- "This moment doesn't belong to the algorithm"
- Dark mode supported

💻 How to use:
- Click "Add to Chrome." That's it.
- YouTube & Reddit feeds are auto-blocked instantly.
- Adjust sections from the popup if needed.

❓ FAQ:

📌 Is it free?

📌 Can I still see specific subreddits or channels?
— Yes. Individual subreddits, search, and channel pages are always allowed.

— You can turn off sections or adjust schedules from the popup at any time.
