Bedtime scrolling blocker
Reduce bedtime scrolling with a phone pause that starts before the feed opens, not after the session is already too long.

A bedtime scrolling blocker should target the opening reflex because bedtime sessions are hardest to stop once the feed starts.
Practical workflow
Choose the bedtime window, add a pause before social apps, keep essential access and review whether sessions end earlier.
