An anti-doomscrolling extension that leaves the feed open.
Reddit support is in V1.6.1, submitted for Store review. The current public Store version is V1.5.1.
A speed bump for the feed you keep opening. You can still scroll when you choose to.
What scroll resistance changes
Normal feeds move with very little input. scrollharder.lol divides that movement by the resistance you choose, so reaching the next post requires more wheel or touch input.
It works on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, X, and Reddit in desktop Chrome and Brave. It does not block a site or control mobile apps.
Start gently, then review
The recommended 21-day plan starts at 10× resistance and increases each day to 2500×. The schedule runs automatically, without a time target or daily check-in. You can switch to manual mode, with fixed resistance from 50× to 2500×.
Your progress shows active feed time and posts viewed by website, day, week, and month. These are measurements of your use, not proof that resistance caused a change. Your personal history stays in your browser.
When a blocker is a better fit
If you need a feed to be completely unavailable, resistance is too permissive. A blocker can enforce that boundary. Compare friction, time limits, and blockers before choosing.
Questions
Does it guarantee less screen time?
No. It adds resistance and measures your use. Your results depend on how you use it. Manual mode can pause resistance; Chrome and Brave still let you remove the extension.
Does it work on mobile?
No. scrollharder.lol works in desktop Chrome and Brave, not the mobile apps.
Can I pause it?
In manual mode, yes. An active plan keeps resistance on for its selected feeds. Switch to manual to pause it or change selected feeds.
Do you collect feed content?
No. Your personal history stays local. Optional reporting shares usage totals with a random installation ID, without feed content, page URLs, your email, or your license key.
