## What is Sip & Scroll?

Scroll Guilt-Free.
Turn your screen time into a self-care ritual. Sip & Scroll is the first app blocker designed to nourish you, not punish you.

Standard screen time control feels like a restrictive parent—it locks you out and makes you feel guilty. We take a different approach. We believe you don't need more discipline; you just need a gentle way to be present.

YOUR NEW HEALTHY RITUAL
Instead of fighting the urge to scroll, transform it into a moment of care.
1. Protect Your Peace: Select the apps that feel like noise (TikTok, Instagram, News).
2. The Gentle Pause: When you open them, we invite you to take a breath.
3. Sip to Unlock: Take a quick selfie drinking water. No strict rules, just a moment of care.
4. Mindful Windows: Enjoy 15 or 30 minutes of scrolling. When time is up, we gently reset your phone to "quiet mode."

WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT
You aren't broken, and you don't need "fixing." You just need to silence the noise so you can hear yourself think.

Sip & Scroll helps you replace "doomscrolling" with hydration. It's the perfect tool for wellness living and anyone wanting the peace of a dumb phone without giving up their favorite apps.

FEATURES DESIGNED FOR BALANCE
 Sip-to-Unlock: The only app limit that verifies you are prioritizing your body before you enter the digital world.
 Mind-Body Connection: Check in with how you feel before and after you scroll.
 Safe Containers: No more losing 2 hours to the feed.
 Celebrate Small Wins: Track "care," not performance.
Custom Sanctuary: Block apps individually or shield entire categories when you need deep rest.

STOP DOOMSCROLLING. START NOURISHING.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-01-30*

I spend less time doomscrolling. Love it

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-01-30*

Sip and Scroll genuinely changed my relationship with Instagram. I used to be stuck in this cycle of downloading it, using it way too much, deleting it, and then missing it and downloading it again. Sip and Scroll finally gave me the balance I was looking for. I still get to have Instagram in my life, but in a way that actually feels healthy and intentional instead of overwhelming. It helps me use social media in moderation without feeling deprived, and that alone has been a game changer.

### 5/5 — What I need

*2026-01-30*

Just the right amount of a barrier I need between my social apps
