DevScroll – Locks distracting apps until you commit code on GitHub

Summary: DevScroll restricts access to selected apps until a GitHub commit is made, promoting consistent coding habits by linking app usage to actual code contributions. It uses the Screen Time API and GitHub’s public contribution graph to enforce this daily.

What it does

Users connect their GitHub username and choose apps to lock. These apps remain blocked until a code commit is pushed, with the system resetting at midnight.

Who it's for

Developers who struggle with distraction and want to prioritize shipping code over browsing social apps.

Why it matters

It prevents doomscrolling by requiring real code commits to unlock apps, rather than relying on timers or focus intervals.
