Ration

beta

macOS app that rate-limits access to distracting apps and websites — think "time-release" instead of cold-turkey blocking.

The question

What if you could ration your scrolling instead of going cold-turkey?

My thoughts

I built this at 3am because I couldn't stop scrolling. Screen Time is a joke — you just tap through it. Total blockers are too rigid and you disable them within a week. Ration takes a different approach: set a daily budget (say 15 min of Twitter) and it doles it out in small increments. The core insight is that environmental design beats willpower. You can't just tap through it. It's the structural guardrail that actually works.
