Screen-time control with an investing twist
Scrollsies: Less doomscroll.
More living.
And a little more for future you.
Set limits for distracting apps, get a nudge when you're tempted to keep scrolling, and turn your progress—or your choice to keep going—into contributions toward your own investments.
Interactive prototype. Phone and money features are simulated. Quick walkthrough
How it works
App limit → Pause and choice → Optional contributionPick your scroll rules
Choose the apps that steal your time, set your own limits, and decide when you want a little help putting your phone down.
Make scrolling a conscious choice
When you reach your limit, Scrollsies gives you a moment to reconsider. Stop scrolling or deliberately choose more time.
Put something toward future you
Link your screen-time habits to your own investments. Celebrate achieving your goals or choose an extra contribution when you want more scroll time.
In this browser prototype, limits and pauses are simulated — Scrollsies doesn't block other apps yet.
Your scroll. Your call. Your future.
Choose what motivates you. Everyone's different.
Celebrate my progress
Good habits deserve a little celebration.
Meet your screen-time goals and choose to add a little extra to your own investments. Make progress today and contribute toward your future.
- You define what counts as success.
- Extra contributions are optional and come from your own money.
- Not cash back, a reward paid by Scrollsies, or free money.
Keep me accountable
Want more scrolling? Make it a conscious choice.
When you reach your limit, choose whether more screen time is worth an extra contribution to your own investments. You set the amounts and your weekly maximum.
- You decide each time whether to authorise more time.
- The contribution goes to your own chosen investment destination.
- Not a fine or a charge from Scrollsies — and your weekly maximum means no runaway debt.
So, where does the money go?
Illustrative example
Let's say you go 10 minutes over your limit...
- Chosen rate
- NZ$0.20 per extra minute
- Extra time actually used
- 10 minutes
- Additional contribution
- NZ$2.00
That's $2 toward your own chosen investment account—not a fine paid to Scrollsies.
You choose your contribution rate, how much extra time to take, and a maximum amount you're comfortable contributing. You only contribute for the extra minutes you actually use.
Example only — not a fixed price. Investing involves risk and returns aren't guaranteed.
Start with a little. Add extra when you choose.
Set a regular contribution toward your own investments. Then, if you want, add extra when you meet a goal or deliberately choose more screen time.
Regular contribution
Your chosen recurring amount. Change it or switch it off any time.
Celebration contribution
An optional extra when you meet a goal you agreed to.
Accountability contribution
An amount you deliberately authorise for extra scrolling.

For your financial future
Designed to help you contribute toward your own investments, with Sharesies and KiwiSaver among the options we're exploring for our first launch.
Sharesies investment accounts
Small, regular contributions toward your own Sharesies portfolio.
KiwiSaver
Contributions to KiwiSaver accounts through participating providers, subject to technical and provider arrangements. KiwiSaver is for retirement and first homes, so you generally can't withdraw it whenever you like.
- You'd choose how much to contribute and set your own maximum limits.
- Your investment contributions would be separate from the Scrollsies subscription.
- These integrations are not active or confirmed. Scrollsies isn't partnered with Sharesies, any KiwiSaver provider or any bank.
Three separate amounts. No mix-ups.
Let's be clear about the money.
A
Scrollsies subscription
The price you would pay to use the Scrollsies service.
B
Regular investing
Money you choose to contribute toward your own investment account.
C
Optional extra investing
Additional money you choose to contribute based on progress or authorised extra scrolling.
Money for investing is yours — it's not revenue paid to Scrollsies. You're in control: change your rules, amounts or plan any time.
