🧠 ScrollTax — Take Back Control of Endless Scrolling

Endless feeds are designed to keep you scrolling.

Short videos, reels, and infinite timelines don’t have natural stopping points. One swipe turns into ten… then thirty… and before you realize it, a lot more time has passed than you intended.

Scrolltax helps you gently break that loop—without blocking content or forcing harsh limits.

🎯 What it does

ScrollTax monitors your activity on feed-based websites (like short video platforms and social timelines). After a set amount of scrolling or a number of posts viewed, it gradually changes how the page looks:

Applies a soft blur to the feed
Switches the page to grayscale
Subtly reduces visual stimulation

This makes the experience feel less engaging, helping you naturally recognize:

“Maybe it’s time to stop.”

⚙️ How it works

You choose your limits:

After X minutes of scrolling
After X posts / reels viewed

Once the threshold is reached,ScrollTax activates automatically—no interruptions, no popups, no forced blocks.

It doesn’t stop you. It just makes continuing less automatic.

🧩 Key Features
🎨 Gradual blur + grayscale effect (not abrupt or disruptive)
⏱️ Time-based or content-based triggers
🔁 Resets when you leave the site
🎛️ Adjustable intensity levels (light nudge → strong fade)
🌐 Works across multiple feed-based websites
⚡ Lightweight and fast
🧠 Designed for awareness, not restriction

Unlike blockers that completely cut you off, Fade Feed focuses on mindful interruption.

No forced lockouts
No guilt-based timers
No breaking site functionality

Instead, it introduces just enough friction to help you pause and decide intentionally.

🔒 Privacy-first
No tracking
No data collection
No external servers

All activity detection happens locally in your browser.

💡 Why it works

Scrolling habits rely on:

constant novelty
bright, stimulating visuals
lack of stopping cues

Fade Feed removes those elements at the right moment—turning an endless loop into a natural stopping point.

🚀 Build better habits without fighting yourself

You don’t need more willpower—you need better signals.

Install ScrollTax and let your feed gently fade when it’s time to move on.
