Barrier - Stop doomscrolling by blocking your addictive apps!
by•
Tired of doomscrolling? Barrier limits screen time to 10-minute sessions, then locks distracting apps. To unlock, you wait 30 seconds... just enough time to reconsider. It’s free, simple, and users report 70% less screen time. Stop scrolling. Start living.

I really appreciate your focus on keeping the product simple and effective. Too many products tackling this issue go wild with lots of extra features, making the product overly complicated. Congrats on the launch and good luck growing Barrier!

Ohhh I feel this in my bones! That 30-second pause is genius – just enough time to snap out of autopilot mode. As someone who constantly loses hours to "just one more scroll," this might be our new productivity lifeline 🚀 Congrats on launching what we all secretly needed!

@rani_zagita Thanks, I was in the same boat! It's was always "just one more scroll" 😅
Love this idea! The 30-second pause is such a smart touch, just enough time to make you think twice before diving back into endless scrolling. The 10-minute limit feels realistic too, not too harsh.
Congrats on the launch @jc! Is there any plan for custom reminders or lock screen messages in future updates? That could make it even more personal.

@suvam_deo We currently support live activities with a countdown so users can start prepping for re-lock, but I like the idea of expanding this. Going to have to start doing some brainstorming!
@jcass99 Great!

I really like the simplicity of this idea — especially the 30-second pause. It’s just enough to snap out of autopilot. I’ll give it a try when I get a chance. Congrats on the launch! 🚀

Honestly, that 30-second wait before unlocking apps is genius—my brain def needs a pause before I spiral into another doomscroll. Fr, this could save my focus lol.

The 30-second unlock delay is genius behavioral design! Does Barrier adjust these 'cooling periods' based on usage patterns? For example, longer delays after repeated attempts to bypass?

Great timing. Social media apps are so addictive these days. This might be the cure.
