DoomScroll vs Doombreak

You open Instagram to check one notification. 45 minutes later, you're deep in Reels. TikTok was supposed to be "just 5 minutes." YouTube autoplay has you watching your 8th video. X keeps pulling you back into threads. DoomScroll Blocker stops the cycle - not by locking you out, but by making you pause at the right moment. Then it gives you something better to do: breathe, meditate, or start a focus session.
