DoomscrolldDaily distance
The day's total in screens, plus how long you stayed on each site.
A browser extension that measures scroll distance
Know your scroll.
Doomscrolld adds up how far you scroll each day, in screens, and turns the number into a short honest sentence. The data never leaves your device.
Free, open source, and honest about what it measures. No accounts.
Install
Two minutes, no account.
The extension isn't on the Chrome Web Store yet, so you install it from the zip by hand. It takes about two minutes.
Download the zipfrom the latest release and unzip it somewhere permanent.
Open
chrome://extensionsin Chrome.Turn on Developer mode in the top-right corner.
Click Load unpacked and select the folder you unzipped. Doomscrolld starts counting the moment it's loaded.
Once it's on the Chrome Web Store, installation becomes a one-click "Add to Chrome." Until then, this is the way in.
How it works
Distance you can read back.
Every scroll you make on a webpage gets counted. Doomscrolld sums them into a daily total, measured in screens. It also watches your pace: faster than 1.5 screens a second is marked as skimming, not reading.
At the end of the day the numbers become a sentence. "Today you scrolled about 1,400 screens." Some days the sentence names a rabbit hole. Some days it marks a quiet one. It never tells you off.
Features
What you get.
Pace, honestly labeled
Reading is 1.5 screens a second or slower. Faster counts as skimming. No badges either way.
Where the time went
Sites are grouped by type. Social, news, video, forums, the rest. You can see which one the day actually went to.
Quiet days and rabbit holes
The dashboard calls out the day you scrolled least and the stretch where you didn't come back up for air.
Self-set limits
Set a daily ceiling if you want one. Doomscrolld never suggests a number for you.
History you own
Delete any single day, or the whole thing. Both take one click.
Privacy
Local-first, plainly.
Scroll data lives in your browser's own storage. There is no server and no account. Nothing gets uploaded, and there are no analytics. Remove the extension and the data goes with it.
Coming next
The phone, eventually.
An Android app is in the works. It reads per-app screen time using the platform's own usage stats, estimates scroll distance from that, and labels the estimate honestly. It follows the same local-first rule.
