The anti-doomscroll app for India

Stop scrolling.
Start growing.

When you hit your limit on the apps that eat your day, Savishkar turns the urge to scroll into ninety seconds on what's actually happening, then you've earned your time back.

Set it once, it runs itself. Coming soon to Android and iPhone.

Savishkar asks for ninety seconds of it back, then hands you the rest.

The problem

We don't have a willpower problem.
We have a design problem.

Feeds are engineered by thousand-person teams to be unputdownable. Your built-in screen-time limit is one tap to dismiss, so it gets dismissed. What's left is a quiet, daily kind of guilt.

The scroll is compulsive

The average phone is unlocked 100+ times a day. It isn't a choice, it's a reflex wired straight into your dopamine system.

Blockers create a void

Hard blockers just slam a door. With nothing to fill the gap, you tap "ignore limit" and relapse in seconds. Willpower alone doesn't scale.

You want to keep up

You mean to stay informed, for the exam, for work, for the conversation. But the feed wins every time. The intention to know quietly loses to the algorithm.

Why we built it

What if the thing between you and your feed wasn't a wall, but a trade?

Savishkar doesn't punish the urge. It redirects it. The same impulse that opens Instagram now buys you ninety seconds of genuinely knowing what's happening. You don't lose time, you trade it up. The block becomes a sunrise.

  • Replaces the void with a fast, satisfying win
  • Builds a real habit through streaks, not shame
  • Fresh Indian current affairs daily, in English and Hindi

How it works

A ninety-second trade:
a little knowledge for your scroll.

1

You hit your limit

Open a guarded app past your daily cap and Savishkar steps in, calm, not scolding.

2

Read the briefing

Ten quick cards on the day's news, polity, economy, world, in English and Hindi, tuned to you.

3

Pass the quiz

Five fast questions confirm it stuck. Instant feedback fires the dopamine, not the doubt.

4

Earn your time

Nail it and your apps unlock. Your streak grows. You rise a little sharper.

Choose apps to guard

Set it once. It runs itself.

Pick the apps that eat your day and set a daily limit, that's the whole setup. On iPhone, Savishkar uses Apple's Screen Time engine; on Android, a lightweight accessibility guard. Nothing to wire up, nothing to remember.

  • Fully automatic once it's set
  • A calm, branded block screen, not a jarring wall
  • Your app choices never leave your phone

Instant feedback is the hook

The moment you answer, the card turns green and the explanation lands. That little hit of "I knew that" is the same reward loop the feed uses, pointed at something that actually makes your day better.

  • Colour and haptic feedback on every answer
  • A one-line "good to know" on each question
  • No punishment for wrong, just learning

The payoff feels earned

Every session ends with XP counting up, your streak ticking, your league rank in view. Small, honest wins that compound, so coming back tomorrow feels good, not like a chore.

  • XP that counts up on screen
  • Daily streaks that build momentum
  • A weekly league to keep it competitive
Why we think it works

Not a hunch, a proven category
with an open lane.

Screen-time apps already earn worldwide, the willingness to pay is established. What no one has nailed is the version for India's students, aspirants, and professionals who want to stay informed. That's the lane Savishkar owns.

Proven

Screen-time and habit apps already earn real subscription revenue, paying is established behaviour.

Open wedge

Rivals chase generic trivia or kids. India + curated daily current affairs is wide open.

Built-in moat

Fresh bilingual content every day fights the habituation that kills most quiz apps.

Viral by design

A shareable weekly card turns every user into a quiet referral, growth that costs nothing.

Weekly league

Better with friends

Invite a friend with a code and you land in the same weekly league, thirty people, one leaderboard, a fresh reset every Monday. Staying informed turns into a little friendly rivalry, and rivalry is what keeps the streak alive.

  • Invite friends with a simple code, no contacts access
  • A weekly league that resets every Monday
  • Climb by showing up and knowing your stuff

Your week, worth sharing

Every week Savishkar turns your progress into a clean, shareable card, the topics you followed, your streak, your rank. It's the kind of thing people post. Sharing it is how friends discover Savishkar.

  • "I stayed informed, not just online."
  • One tap to share to a story
  • Growth that costs nothing per user
