Snapback doesn't block. It reminds. Every few minutes, a quiet popup shows you exactly how much time you've burned on Twitter, Reddit, YouTube. No judgment. Just data.
Blockers make you angry. Analytics make you sad. Snapback makes you conscious. That's the difference.
Every few minutes on a distraction site, a card appears. Not intrusive. Just impossible to ignore.
See how much time you've burned. Total minutes, session count, daily trend. Numbers hit harder than guilt.
Never blocked. Never locked. You can always keep scrolling. But now you know exactly what it costs.
Pre-built lists for social media, news, video. One click to add your personal time sinks. No manual configuration required.
Snapback detects you're on a distraction list. Timer starts automatically. No action needed.
A small card slides in showing time spent and a single question. No modal, no fullscreen — just a whisper.
Dismiss and keep scrolling, or close the tab. Either way, you're choosing consciously. That's the win.
"Every time you mindlessly scroll, you lose 15 minutes of life you'll never get back. Snapback doesn't save you from yourself. It just makes sure you're paying attention."
We built this because we were the problem. Engineers, founders, knowledge workers — people who should know better. We kept opening Twitter at 11am, telling ourselves "just 5 minutes." Three hours later, the tab was still open.
Blocking apps felt authoritarian. Time trackers felt depressing. We wanted something gentler. A friend, not a guard. That's Snapback.
