The Problem

2 minutes turn into 2 hours. Before you even realize.

Infinite feeds and autoplay are built to keep you scrolling past the point you meant to stop.

How Ridan Works

Small interruptions. A different relationship with your phone.

Real Ridan app screens and recordings show how each intervention works in the moment scrolling stops being a choice.

01 · Eliminate compulsive triggers

Block Shorts & Reels. (❌ entire apps)

Just the harmful features get removed. Everything else stays.

Block lists photo showing Shorts and Reels blocked while the rest of the app stays
02 · Pre-schedule your leisure

Only watch during breaks.

Like 9-9:30 in the morning, and 4-4:30 in the evening. Rest of the times addictive apps stay blocked. So you can both focus and chill at their separate times.

03 · End doomscrolling

5 mins on, 5 mins off.

For less harmful apps, you don't need to keep them blocked for ever. You can watch for some time, then Ridan blocks it for next same amount of time. Even by doing this alone, your screen time gets reduced by 50%, straight.

04 · Try Healthier Alternatives

Replace bad habits with something better.

Complete a 2-minute exercise or a short lesson — unlock your next watch round. At least you get a fit body and better mind, right?

05 · Go all-in. Stick to your goals.

Lock with money. You can never bypass.

After all, fear of losing money is the biggest motivator of all.

My friend Sarah went from 3 hours → 15 mins a night in 2 weeks of use. Damn you app. You deserve my instant download.

I didn’t want another productivity app. I just wanted my brain to feel calmer.

The weird part is I became more aware of when I was scrolling automatically.

Other blockers made me feel restricted. This felt more like regaining self-control.
