How Ridan Works
Small interruptions. A different relationship with your phone.
Each tool targets the moment scrolling stops being a choice.
01 · Target the trigger
Block Shorts & Reels — not the whole app.
Just the addictive formats get removed. Everything else stays.
02 · Make the boundary matter
No bypass if you Lock with money.
After all, fear of losing money is the biggest motivator of all.
Money Lock
Make bypassing a real decision.
Your commitment
No easy bypass.
Add intentional friction when the usual limit is not enough.
03 · Break the spiral
End doomscrolling with 5 mins on, 5 mins off.
You can scroll for some time, then Ridan blocks it for some time. It breaks the spiral before it starts.
04 · Choose a better next step
Replace bad habits with something better.
A 2-minute exercise or a short lesson unlocks the next round — at least you get a better body and mind, right?
Day by day
Feel the difference by day 7.
A 30-day attention journey
Less automatic scrolling. More intentional time.
The first week is about noticing the loop. From there, Ridan helps make the next choice easier to repeat.
The curve is illustrative. Every person, device, and habit starts somewhere different.
