What is a doomscroll receipt?

A doomscroll receipt is a quick way to make screen time visible. Instead of showing only a daily average, it turns your scrolling habit into monthly hours, lost evenings, unread books, workout-sized blocks, and a simple attention cost.

Why a receipt works

Screen time is easy to ignore because it arrives in tiny pieces. A few minutes after waking up, a few minutes between tasks, a few minutes before bed. The receipt makes the total visible.

The goal is not guilt. It is clarity. Once you can see the cost, you can choose a better trade: one page, one pause, one intentional unlock at a time.

How the doomscroll receipt is calculated

The quiz estimates daily scrolling from your answers about time, triggers, apps, bedtime habits, and years with a smartphone. Then it converts that estimate into monthly screen time cost and compares the total with things that are easier to understand, like evenings, books, and workouts.

FAQ

Is the doomscroll receipt exact?

No. It is an estimate designed to make the pattern visible. The goal is not a perfect forensic screen time audit; it is a clear, useful snapshot of what the habit may be costing.

Can I save or share my receipt?

Yes. After the final question, you can share the result, copy the text, or save the receipt as a PNG image.

What should I do after seeing the result?

Start with one replacement rule. Put a page, a pause, or a short reading session between you and the app you open most automatically.
