A focus app for the moment before the feed wins
Most timers keep counting while you scroll. Doomscroll Totem makes the phone movement itself part of the session.
FEATURED APP
Doomscroll Totem stops the scroll.
Doomscroll Totem is a phone-down focus app from goodideed. Start a session, put the phone down, and let motion detection add the friction your attention needs.
Motion-enforced sessions, not just intention
Start a focus session, leave the phone still, and get clear feedback when the doomscroll reflex interrupts it.
A gamified side that supports the habit
Collectible totems make progress feel visible without turning focus into pressure or punishment.
WHY IT EXISTS
Doomscroll Totem helps with screen time, social feeds, and the reflex to pick up your phone.
It is built for people who open TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, YouTube Shorts, or any feed almost automatically. Doomscroll Totem does not pretend to be therapy, a blocker, or a cure. It is a small behavioral tool that makes the habit loop visible at the exact moment it usually disappears.
The app combines motion detection, focus sessions, grace windows, Pomodoro support, Low Power Mode, and a light gamified layer so putting the phone down feels concrete.
