Scrolling Time Guardian

Most digital-wellbeing tools stop at blocking sites or logging visits. Scrolling Time Guardian takes a more granular measurement: it tracks scrolling itself, which is a better proxy for the mindless feed consumption people actually want to reduce. The running total sits directly in your browser bar, so your usage is visible without opening a dashboard, and you set your own daily, weekly, or monthly thresholds rather than accepting someone else's idea of healthy.

As you approach a threshold, the extension raises quiet visual alerts — designed to be notices, not interruptions — and if you pass it, the overage keeps showing in the total. Beyond the live number, it keeps detailed statistics and a usage history so you can identify which websites consume the most of your time and spot patterns over weeks rather than judging a single session.

It is a deliberately simple, private-feeling tool: the Chrome Web Store listing carries a 4.5-star rating and was featured in the Well-being category, and the developer declares that the extension does not collect or use your data and does not sell it to third parties. The developer is a non-trader individual rather than a company, so the product should be understood as a lightweight, focused utility rather than an enterprise suite: no account, no cross-device sync promises, just local tracking of your own browsing behavior.
