Count reels & shorts, track scroll habits and challenge friends to scroll less
Scroll less, live more. Scroll Buddy counts every reel, short and spotlight you watch, shows you exactly where your time goes, and turns cutting back into a game you play with friends. Most of us have no idea how many short videos we scroll through in a day. Scroll Buddy gives you the real number, live, while you scroll. Seeing it is often all it takes to put the phone down. ★ LIVE REEL COUNTER A small, friendly counter sits at the top of your screen while you watch Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat Spotlight and Facebook Reels. It ticks up with every video, so you always know how deep you are. Tap it any time to jump back to Scroll Buddy. ★ YOUR SCROLL STATS • Today's total reel count, front and centre • Day, week and month views with clear charts • A breakdown per app: Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Facebook • Your peak scrolling hour and your most-used app • Time spent in each app (optional, with Usage Access) • Set a daily goal and see how close you are ★ CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Screen time is easier to cut together. • Add friends by username or share your invite code • See how many reels your friends scrolled today • Start a 24-hour challenge: fewest reels wins • Live standings while the challenge runs • Challenge history with your wins and places • A little friendly competition does more than any app timer ★ BUILT FOR REAL HABITS • Works on its own, no account needed to start counting • Sign in with email or Google to add friends and sync your stats • Your counts stay on your phone until you choose to sign in • Clean, calm design that doesn't add to the noise • Light on battery, quiet in the background ★ WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who opens a reel "for one minute" and loses an hour • Students who want to focus on studies • Anyone working on a digital detox, digital wellbeing or screen-time goal • Friends and families who want to scroll less together HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Scroll Buddy and allow the Accessibility Service 2. Open Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat or Facebook as usual 3. Watch the live counter count every reel, short and spotlight 4. Come back to see your stats, set goals and challenge friends ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE DISCLOSURE Scroll Buddy uses Android's Accessibility Service API to detect when you move to the next reel, short or spotlight in Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Facebook, and to show the live counter on top of those apps. This is the core feature of the app and cannot work without it. • The service only counts videos in those four apps • It does not read your messages, passwords or personal content • It does not collect or share what you watch, only the number of videos • You can turn it off at any time in your phone's Accessibility settings PRIVACY Your reel counts are stored on your phone. If you sign in, your daily totals are synced so friends and challenges work. You can delete your account and all synced data at any time from Settings. Scroll Buddy is free and supported by ads. Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Facebook are trademarks of their respective owners. Scroll Buddy is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by them.
