Stop doom scrolling with Dumb Scroller! Like a decaf espresso, Dumb Scroller gives your brain the familiar ritual of scrolling through social media — without any of the hooks that keep you trapped. It's a digital detox that works with your habits, not against them. Choose from surrogate versions of the apps you can't put down — a photo feed, a short-form video stream, a microblog timeline, a friend feed, and a video platform — all filled with harmless placeholder content. No real posts. No outrage. No algorithm. Just the soothing muscle memory of mindless scrolling, minus the consequences. Your brain craves the pattern — the pull-to-refresh, the double-tap to like, the endless scroll. Dumb Scroller delivers that pattern in its most inert form. Over time, the compulsion fades. The itch gets scratched without the screen addiction getting fed. Why it works: • Targets the scroll habit itself, not just the content • Replaces your phone addiction reflex with a harmless alternative • No accounts, no notifications, no data collection, no feed algorithm • Multiple app styles reminiscent of popular social media platforms • Infinite scrolling, liking, bookmarking, and commenting — all completely meaningless • A screen time solution that doesn't lecture you or block your apps Dumb Scroller doesn't shame you with screen time reports or fight your willpower. It simply offers your restless fingers something to do while your brain quietly forgets why it needed to scroll in the first place. Break the cycle. Keep the ritual. Scroll dumb.
