Stop doomscrolling, learn more.
Blobby asks a few short questions when you've been scrolling a while.
Go on, keep scrolling. I'll pop in.

A friend of a friend posted nine photos.
-
Someone's showing you their lunch.
-
An account you don't even follow.
-
A video you've already seen.
Oh, hey.
And this is me.

Science
Why are flamingos pink?
Carotenoid pigments from the shrimp and algae they eat dye their feathers. Raised in captivity without that diet, they turn white.
That was me. I'm Blobby.
I cut into your feed like that, after a few minutes of scrolling.
I keep a screen-time budget for you.
You set the rules: a nudge or a hard stop.
- Classic
- Blobby drops in every so often with a few short questions. You set how often. Nothing gets blocked. It just breaks the trance for a minute, then lets you go.
- Budget
- Give a site a daily allowance. When it runs out, most apps lock you out and leave you there. Blobby sits with a few questions instead. With Pro, get them right and you can buy minutes back, if you turn that on. Leave it off and the site stays shut.
Each pebble is five minutes. This jar is your day.
Science
Honey never spoils.
I never look at your feed.
Your scroll never leaves your device.
Blobby knows a site is open and for how long. Never what's on it. App names never leave your device.
- No account needed
- No ads, no trackers, no data sales
- Anonymous stats only if you turn them on

What is Blobby?
Blobby breaks up doomscrolling with a few short trivia questions. Free on Android, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, soon on iPhone. Optional Pro plan. It works on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, LinkedIn and Threads, plus any site you add, with over 1,100 questions across ten topics.
Is Blobby really free?
Yes. The free plan is permanent, not a trial: one site or app, one topic, ten questions a day, and no account. Pro is optional.
How much does Blobby Pro cost?
€2.99 a month or €17.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Or Pro for life: one payment of €29.99, the founding price until 31 December or until Blobby lands on iPhone if that's sooner. Pro unlocks every topic and site, unlimited questions, buying minutes back, the whole question library and four more looks for Blobby. On the extension and Android, if it's not for you, write to us within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund all of it. Pro is how Blobby makes money: no ads, no data sales, ever.
What data does Blobby collect?
Very little. Blobby runs on your device: it sees that a site is open and for how long, never what's on it, and app names never leave your device. Our server ships the question packs, checks your Pro status, and receives the corrections you choose to send and, if you turn them on, anonymous stats. No account needed, no fingerprinting, no third-party trackers.
Does it work on Safari or my phone?
Blobby works today in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave and Arc on a computer. On Android, get it on Google Play. iPhone comes next. Safari comes later.
How is Blobby different from a screen-time blocker?
A blocker shuts the app and leaves you staring at a wall. Blobby has two modes. Classic never blocks: it pops in with a few short questions, then sends you back. Budget gives a site a daily allowance; when it runs out, Blobby locks the site and sits with a few questions, and with Pro, right answers buy minutes back if you turn that on. You pick per site and can switch whenever.
What if I don't like trivia?
You pick the topics, out of ten: history, science, geography, arts, literature, language, culture, tech, philosophy, nature. The free plan keeps one, Pro all ten. Skip what bores you.
