Scrollmeter quietly measures your scrolling in every app: the distance, the time, and the Reels, Shorts and posts you scroll past. Everything stays on your phone.
Android 8.0 or newer · About 14 MB · No account needed
Screen time tells you how long. Scrollmeter tells you how much: how many metres of feed passed under your thumb, and where it went.
Metres and kilometres scrolled today, this week and this month, for every app you use.
Estimated Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and posts on X, Reddit and LinkedIn, each with a confidence level.
Set a daily limit for distance, scrolling time, Reels or social apps. One gentle notification when you reach it.
Every continuous stretch of scrolling, with when it started, how long it lasted and how far you went.
Weekly and monthly trends, your peak scrolling hour, longest session and comparison with last week.
Event-driven tracking with no polling, no wake locks and batched writes. Built to run all day unnoticed.
See which days pull you in. Tap a bar to inspect it, just like in the app.

Assumes about 0.7–2.6 metres of content per minute, depending on what you watch. Real numbers vary a lot by person and phone.
To see scrolling in other apps, Android requires an accessibility service. Here is exactly what Scrollmeter does and doesn't do with it.

Scrollmeter isn't on the Play Store yet, so you install the APK directly.
Updating? Install the new APK over the old one. Your data is kept.
Yes. The app has no internet permission, so Android won't let it send anything anywhere. It never reads text on your screen or what you type.
No. It only wakes up when something scrolls, and saves data in small batches. There is no constant background loop.
They are estimates. Apps don't tell other apps what you watched, so Scrollmeter infers it from how the feed moves. Every number shows a confidence level.
Not yet. For now you install the APK from this website. Updates install over the old version and keep your data.
