About No Video Rabbit Holes – Focus
Does one video turn into ten – and an evening disappears? No Video Rabbit Holes helps you decide before you press play. The app shows how long you have stayed out of video spirals, how many videos you skipped and how much time you have won back. And when the ‘up next’ list tempts you, it helps you pause.
⏱️ YOUR SPIRAL-FREE TIMER
• Live timer in days, hours, minutes and seconds – just swipe
• Start now or enter when you last fell down a video rabbit hole
• Always see your next goal, with a progress bar
• Home screen widget with your spiral-free days and time won back
❤️ YOUR PROGRESS, STEP BY STEP
• 11 milestones from 24 hours to 1 year on a timeline – from the first day without a rabbit hole and noticing the sidebar pull to focus coming back, videos you choose and watching on your terms
• Every milestone explained in plain words – with practical tips
• Honest about the evidence: watching long videos is not harmful per se, and research on rabbit holes is mixed
• If you like, a short notification as soon as you reach the next milestone
• Based on research such as Hosseinmardi et al. 2021, Mozilla RegretsReporter 2021, Mark et al. 2005, Gollwitzer & Sheeran 2006 (if–then plans) and Lally et al. 2010 (habits) – there are no fixed timelines, so milestones are orientation, not promises
🌬️ HELP WHEN ‘UP NEXT’ TEMPTS YOU
• Urge helper with guided breathing – most urges fade within minutes
• Practical tips: pick before you press play, autoplay off, a watch-later list, a timer
• Urge diary: how strong was it, what triggered it – boredom, work breaks, evenings? Spot your patterns
• Links to trustworthy health information – tap to open
💰 SEE WHAT YOU GAIN
• Time won back (about 75 minutes per video spiral)
• Videos skipped and ‘up next’ suggestions resisted (rough estimates, about 5 videos and 4 suggestions per spiral)
• Money kept around video spirals, if you track it (premium subscription, snacks, takeaway)
• Your personal goal: what will you do with the time – a project, a walk, friends?
• Share your progress with friends in a tap
🏆 CELEBRATE EVERY SUCCESS
• Achievements in 7 categories – with confetti
• History with a chart of all your spiral-free periods
• Slipped up? Your progress stays saved – every attempt counts
✨ MADE FOR YOU
• Available in 18 languages, choose your own currency
• Light and dark theme
• No sign-up needed – what you enter stays on your device
🎁 FREE FOREVER
All features are and will stay free and unlimited – no subscription, no premium version, no limits. The app is funded by ads.
Every video you choose is a win. Start today – pick first, then press play.
Important: Watching long videos is not a medical diagnosis, and this app is not a diagnosis or treatment. It is for people who want to watch on purpose; it sells nothing, is not affiliated with any video platform and does not replace professional advice. If videos are replacing sleep, work, meals or contact with people, or you feel low or lonely for weeks, talk to a doctor. All values are estimates.
