SquareBrowser sets daily browsing limits, locks you out completely in Strict Mode, and keeps a permanent honest record of where your time went — all stored privately on your device.

"Your life is leaking through
your screen. Are these sites
worth your soul?"
— shown on every SquareBrowser home screen
No willpower required. SquareBrowser makes good habits automatic.
Pick your daily limit: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, up to 6. Enable Strict Mode if you want no override possible. The timer shows in your address bar the whole time — a quiet reminder that your time is finite.
When you've used your daily limit, the browser pauses and shows you a reminder. You can extend by 10 minutes once if needed — that small friction is often enough to make you close the app and do something real.
Enable Strict Mode and there is no override. The browser locks completely — access resumes at midnight. It's harsh by design. Because sometimes the commitment you make in the morning is the only thing that protects you at night.
Set a hard daily cap on browsing. When time's up, the browser pauses — no endless scrolling. Choose from preset limits or fine-tune in 15-minute increments.
No override. No "just 5 more minutes." Browser locks until midnight. For people who need hard commitments, not soft suggestions.
Zero external servers. No analytics. No tracking of any kind. All data lives on your device and goes nowhere — because it literally has nowhere to go.
Your history cannot be deleted. That's accountability by design — knowing it's permanent changes how you browse.
Daily time per domain. See exactly which sites are stealing your hours — local, private, honest data only you can see.
Cleaner pages, faster loads, fewer distractions — right out of the box, no extensions or setup needed.
SquareBrowser is early-stage and intentional. Here's where we are and where we're heading — for users and investors alike.
Willpower is a finite resource. The real trick is designing your environment so good behaviour is automatic — and bad behaviour is inconvenient.
The most powerful behaviour change tool isn't a reward — it's honest, unavoidable accountability. Here's the science behind permanent history.
Tech companies spend billions engineering your engagement. This is what's happening in your brain, and what you can actually do about it.
How SquareBrowser is helping people reclaim hours from doomscrolling, social media loops, and mindless browsing.
"I was spending 3+ hours on Reddit every day without realising it. After two weeks of daily limits, I'm under 40 minutes. The timer in the address bar is what did it — I couldn't pretend I wasn't scrolling."
"The permanent history felt uncomfortable at first. Now I think of it as a mirror. I can't lie to myself about how I'm spending my time — and that's exactly what I needed to change."
"Strict Mode during exam season was a lifesaver. Once I turned it on in the morning, the temptation just wasn't there. I couldn't override it even when I desperately wanted to procrastinate."
"I had no idea I was spending 90 minutes a day on news sites. The usage stats showed me exactly which domains were stealing my hours. Seeing that number made me genuinely uncomfortable — that's the point."
"My sleep improved within a week. A 30-minute limit after 9pm meant no more midnight doomscrolling. Simple idea, works exactly as described — and I didn't need any willpower after setting it."
"I've tried screen time apps before and always found workarounds. Strict Mode doesn't give you one. I made the commitment in the morning and it held all day. That's what makes it actually work."
