Mivo Launches Free iPhone App With 2 Daily Scroll Sessions to Curb Doomscrolling

Summary
Launched last month, Mivo Scrolling is now offering a free App Store app that manages social-media use with scheduled sessions instead of hard blocks.
Users can set 2 daily scroll windows and choose specific apps, then get prompts asking why they are opening them before automatic scrolling takes over.
Regular pauses every 2, 3 or 5 minutes and a post-session check-in are designed to build awareness without shaming users for continuing.
A home-screen widget shows daily scroll time and the next session, positioning Mivo within the broader slowtech push for more intentional phone use.
