🧠 Why It Helps with Social Media Addiction

Psychologists studying behavior change often recommend starting with awareness — not cutting yourself off immediately.

Two helpful strategies supported by behavioral science are:

Track how much time you’re spending Just measuring your usage, day by day, helps you spot patterns you may not even realize. It brings habits into the light — and that awareness alone can reduce compulsive use.

Limit usage to specific time windows Instead of banning social media outright, create a rule: “I only scroll between 7–9pm.” This tool helps you monitor how often you follow or break that rule, without judgment — just data.

Both strategies work best when they’re easy and automatic — exactly what this tool is designed for.
