RickStop: Anti-Doomscroll Lock

RickStop helps you take back your attention from infinite feeds.

It’s a privacy-first Chrome extension that detects doomscrolling patterns using scroll input only (timing + intensity) and interrupts “scroll trance” with a short hard lock (default: 10 minutes). No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, and no servers.

How it works (no content reading)

RickStop does not read posts, messages, or page content. It only monitors scroll behavior to recognize repetitive, infinite-feed scrolling. When your selected sensitivity threshold is reached, the current site is locked with a full-screen overlay until the timer ends.

Key features

• Hard Lock overlay (10 minutes by default, configurable). No in-page “unlock” button by design.
