Track Your Wins
Celebrate progress with visual habit tracking and focus time stats. See your streaks grow, your habits stick, and your days become more intentional.
How to Use Your No Scroll Journal
This isn’t a planner. It’s your daily ritual reset — part reflection, part habit-building tool, part scroll-blocking superpower.
1. Morning Reset
Set your screen-time goal and choose one or two things you’ll do instead of reaching for your phone. Tap the cover to start your 15-minute Focus Session — social media silenced, attention locked in.
2. Evening Check-In
Close the day by noting how you did. What worked? Where did you almost get pulled back into the feed? Track your total screen time and tick off your win.
3. Keep It Real
Don’t go from 5 hours to zero. Cut 15–30 minutes at a time. Small wins stack fast, and streaks turn into habits before you know it.
Your goal isn’t perfection.
It’s presence, progress, and proof that you can live off-screen — one page, one day at a time.
One Tap. Fifteen Minutes. Zero Distractions.
You open your journal and write the first line of the day.
A quick tap of your phone to the cover triggers the app — social media goes silent, notifications disappear, and you get 15 uninterrupted minutes of focus. One page turns into a streak, and a streak turns into a habit.
Built on Habit Science, Calm Rituals, and Focus Design
No Scroll Journal pairs a physical cue (tap the NFC cover) with a short, time-boxed writing ritual and gentle app controls. This structure uses well-established mechanisms of habit formation and effort regulation.
Habits Require Repetition & Time — Not Magic
Research shows that new habits typically take around two months (66 days) to become automatic, though it can range widely—from as little as 18 days to over 250 days depending on the individual and behavior
More recent data across 20 studies suggests many habits take 106–154 days on average, but can form more quickly when they’re frequent, timed thoughtfully, and enjoyable
Cue-Routine-Reward Loop Builds Automaticity
Habits emerge through repeated context cues triggering a behavior, which then delivers a reward. Over time this loop strengthens automaticity in the brain regions like the basal ganglia . This is why simple, intentionally repeated rituals—like tapping your journal and writing—can effectively anchor new healthy behaviors.
Routines Reduce Cognitive Load & Boost Well-Being
Establishing predictable patterns helps conserve mental energy. When actions become routine, your brain frees up working memory for deeper tasks, increasing focus and reducing overwhelm mindhealth.com.au
Multiple studies confirm that routines—especially those rooted in everyday life—enhance mental and physical health, reduce anxiety, and foster self-regulation positivepsychology.com.
Small Wins Build Confidence & Momentum
Even small, easy-to-follow actions can fast-track habit formation. Starting with modest routines—like 15-minute focus sessions—is effective because early success increases self-efficacy, fueling further progress
Plus, when behaviors are perceived as enjoyable or meaningful, habit formation

No — the journal works as a standalone habit tracker. The app simply adds focus sessions, streak tracking, and distraction blocking for extra habit support.
es. The default is 15 minutes (great for breaking the scroll reflex), but you can adjust session length inside the app.
Most modern smartphones have NFC built in. Just make sure it’s turned on in your settings.
No problem. This is about building progress, not perfection. Missing a day won’t erase your gains — just open the journal tomorrow and start again.
Absolutely. You can track any daily habit, from reading and exercise to learning a skill.

Meet the Creators
Building tools to help you reclaim focus, time, and intention in a distracted world.
Natalia — Founder & Designer
I started NoScroll as a personal solution. I was tired of losing hours to mindless scrolling, so I designed a journal that could anchor my days in focus and intention. From the layout of every page to the look and feel of the companion app, I’ve shaped NoScroll to be a simple, beautiful way to reclaim time.
Marek — Strategy & Ideas
When I shared the concept with Marek, he saw the potential to take it further — adding NFC for instant focus sessions, gamifying it with streaks, and building a strategy to get NoScroll into the hands of people who need it most. He’s the one making sure our story is heard and that our campaign finds the backers to make it real.
