Mivo Scrolling app offers mindful screen time management without shaming
8 reported
A new mindful screen time app called Mivo Scrolling launched last month, aiming to address doomscrolling without strict limits or shaming. The app tracks screen time and usage patterns, providing insights into daily habits, but emphasizes a no-shaming approach. Instead of blocking apps, users can set customizable time limits for specific platforms, such as scheduling two daily scroll sessions with one-hour windows. When it is time for a break, a friendly reminder prompts users to reflect on why they are scrolling, such as boredom, distraction, or relaxation. The app also allows users to set regular pauses every two, three, or five minutes for intermittent check-ins. After a scrolling session, Mivo asks users whether the time was well spent or if they got lost in the scroll. Mivo Scrolling is currently available for free on the App Store.
