The internet was built to keep you scrolling. Sundial Browser gives it a rhythm. Every other browser opens a door and walks away. You go in for one thing and surface an hour later, not sure where it went. Sundial Browser is a full web browser that wraps the sites that pull you in — Reddit, X, YouTube, the news — in timed sessions with a beginning, a middle, and an end. You still get everywhere you need to go. You just stop disappearing into it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pace the sites that pull you in. Pick the sites you want to manage. When you open one, a session begins. You browse freely — you just stop scrolling on autopilot. 2. Built-in rest. When the session ends, the site locks. A short rest period follows before you can return. No override. No "just five more minutes." The boundary holds itself. WHAT WE DON'T DO No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. Your history never leaves your device. Sundial Browser paces how you browse — it doesn't watch what you browse. THE FULL BROWSER YOU EXPECT Tabs, bookmarks, search suggestions, and private mode. Everything a modern browser does, without the part that does it to you. Restore your rhythm online.
