FAQ

Do I need to delete social apps to stop scrolling?

Not always. Deleting apps can help some people, but BeInstant targets the smaller moment before access so you can interrupt the reflex without going offline completely.

Why do I keep scrolling even when I planned to stop?

The problem is often the automatic opening pattern. Once you are inside the feed, the app is designed to keep the next item close.

What is the first action to try today?

Choose one distracting app and add a short pause before opening it. Keep the goal small enough to repeat several times in one day.
