Why we take your money if you scroll?

Because pain drives change ⚡️

The Psychology of Scrolling

Social media platforms are designed to keep you scrolling. Each swipe delivers a small dopamine hit, creating a behavioral loop that's hard to break.

Napoleon introduces the psychological opposite of this loop: instead of getting more "reward" the longer you scroll, you get more friction.

Why It Works

Most scrolling happens unconsciously. Napoleon's goal is to make it conscious again. By putting a cost on each minute, it creates a pause — a moment of choice — that breaks the momentum of the loop.

You're not blocked. You're not forced. But you are faced with the truth: "Is this minute worth it?"

Because the real cost of distraction isn't just your attention. It's what you could've done instead.

Our Manifesto

You decide to make scrolling expensive and we keep you accountable.

"We built Napoleon to offer a radical way out of endless distractions. If you want to stop scrolling, you set your own rules — and your own price for breaking them.

It's bold, but it's yours. You're in control. If your incentive works, you don't pay a cent."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Napoleon app

Yes. When you exceed your free time allowance, Napoleon will charge your card based on the price per minute you've set, up to your daily maximum cost.
Absolutely. You can adjust your free time allowance, price per minute, and daily maximum cost at any time through the app settings. You can also cancel anytime — billing stops immediately.
Napoleon can track most popular social media apps including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, YouTube, and WhatsApp.
No. Napoleon doesn't block access to any apps. It's about conquering yourself, not restricting access. You remain in control of your choices.
Napoleon only accesses anonymized screen time data — not your content, contacts, or activity inside the apps. Each app is represented by a token, so even we don't know which apps you use. We use secure APIs provided by iOS and Android and we log nothing. Napoleon is simply a tool to help you fight back against attention-grabbing algorithms — with full respect for your privacy.
The money goes directly to us — but not because we want you to fail. In fact, Napoleon only works if most people succeed. Our goal isn't to earn a lot from a few who struggle, but a little from many who are trying to change. A small cost, felt just enough, can help you rethink the way you use your time.

This creates a virtuous cycle: your contribution helps you break harmful habits, and supports the growth of a tool designed to help others do the same. It funds development, keeps the app independent, and helps us reach more people stuck in endless scrolling loops. If someone keeps failing and paying, they'll simply quit. That's why we focus on building something that works — for everyone.
